Saransh Jain Earns Maiden India Test Call-Up Ahead of Sri Lanka Series
Saransh Jain, a 33-year-old off-spinning all-rounder from Madhya Pradesh, has earned his maiden call-up to the Indian Test squad for the upcoming Sri Lanka series, replacing the injured Washington Sundar. Jain's selection follows strong performances in domestic cricket and India A tours, highlighted by his all-round contributions in the Ranji Trophy and unofficial Tests. His rise reflects years of consistent domestic success without IPL exposure. Jain's family has supported him through personal challenges, including his father's concealed cancer diagnosis to help him focus on cricket.
