Veteran All-Rounder Saransh Jain Named in India's Squad for Sri Lanka Tests

The Indian cricket management released the squad for the upcoming Sri Lanka Test series, naming Madhya Pradesh's seasoned all‑rounder Saransh Jain as one of the 15 players. Jain, born on March 31, 1993, in Indore, bats left‑handed and bowls off‑spin with his right arm. After debuting in first‑class cricket in 2014, he progressed to List A and T20 formats in 2017, establishing himself as a regular and influential performer. His domestic record includes 2,223 runs at an average that features two centuries and fourteen fifties across 54 first‑class matches, as well as 188 wickets. In List A cricket he has amassed 553 runs and taken 38 wickets, while his T20 credentials feature 18 wickets in 20 games. The inclusion reflects the team's quest for a player who can contribute in both departments, and Jain's long‑standing consistency made him a natural choice.
