Duo named in India squad
Batsman Yuvraj Singh and slow left-armer Pragyan Ojha have been named in the India squad for the two-Test series.
Yuvraj, who hit centuries against Kevin Pietersen's men in the first two one-day internationals of a series later abandoned due to the terror attacks in Mumbai, has often struggled at Test level and has not played for his country in this form of the game since April.
He was overlooked for the Test series against Sri Lanka, but his impressive recent form has earned him a recall.
Subramaniam Badrinath and Murali Vijay have retained their places, while Gautam Gambhir, who missed the last match of the Border-Gavaskar series in Nagpur due to suspension, has also been selected.
But left-arm seamer RP Singh, who was dropped from the one-day side last month, was overlooked.
