All-rounder Yusuf Pathan and young left-arm spinner Pragyan Ojha were on Friday rewarded for their good showing in the Indian Premier League [Images] as the selectors announced a young 15-member squad for the forthcoming tri-series in Bangladesh and the Asia Cup in Pakistan.
Apart from the two new faces, the selection panel, headed by Dilip Vengsarkar, recalled seamer R P Singh, who replaces Munaf Patel [Images], a member of the squad that won the tri-series in Australia earlier this year.
Besides Patel, the selectors dropped Manoj Tiwary and Dinesh Karthik [Images] and ignored former captains Sourav Ganguly [Images] and Rahul Dravid [Images] again.
Sachin Tendulkar [Images] made himself unavailable for the two assignments as he has not recovered fully from a prolonged groin injury.
