The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Monday named a 15-member squad for the series, which begins in Galle on August 15, with Gill continuing as captain and KL Rahul appointed vice-captain. The selectors have opted for a blend of youth and experience as India look to make a strong start to their red-ball campaign away from home. His absence paves the way for Nabi, whose impressive performances over the past two domestic seasons have earned him his first opportunity at the highest level. A domestic stalwart for Madhya Pradesh since 2014, Jain impressed the selectors during the India A tour, contributing both with bat and ball. India squad: Shubman Gill (captain), KL Rahul (vice-captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Sai Sudharsan*, Dhruv Jurel (wicketkeeper), Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Manav Suthar, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Gurnoor Brar, Devdutt Padikkal, Saransh Jain and Auqib Nabi.
