Only five players from the Asia Cup squad find themselves in this team.

Interestingly, Raina was dropped from the Asia Cup squad but now makes a comeback as a captain for this series.

Robin Uthappa, the Orange Cap holder in the current season of the IPL, has made a comeback into the Indian team after a gap of two years. The last time he turned out for India was in a one-off T20I against South Africa.

Kedar Jadhav and Akshar Patel get their first call-up to the Indian team after very impressive performances in the Indian domestic circuit.

Squad: Suresh Raina (captain), Robin Uthappa, Ajinkya Rahane, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ambati Rayudu, Manoj Tiwary, Kedar Jadhav, Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Parvez Rasool, Akshar Patel, R Vinay Kumar, Umesh Yadav, Stuart Binny, Mohit Sharma, Amit Mishra

The first match begins on the 15th of June.
