Legspinner Amit Mishra has been recalled to India's Test squad for the tour of Sri Lanka in August.
Mishra has not played a Test since the 2011 tour of England, where he played two matches and took three wickets at an average of 106.66. In the 2014-15 Ranji Trophy season, Mishra played six matches for Haryana and took 10 wickets at an average of 20.40.
Karn Sharma and fast bowler Mohammed Shami were not considered because of fitness problems. Karn had been ruled out of India's tour of Zimbabwe in July with a fractured finger, and Shami is presently recovering from knee surgery.
Squad: Virat Kohli (capt), Varun Aaron, R Ashwin, Shikhar Dhawan, Harbhajan Singh, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane, Wriddhiman Saha, Ishant Sharma, Amit Mishra, Rohit Sharma, M Vijay, Umesh Yadav, KL Rahul
