The side will be led by Shikhar Dhawan who recently tasted success as the skipper of the Indian team that thumped West Indies and completed a 3-0 clean sweep win in a three-match ODI series away from home. The right-handed batter Rahul Tripathi has also been called-up while Kuldeep Yadav and Deepak Chahar who had been out of action for sometime due to respective injuries have also been included in the squad.
