Allrounder Stuart Binny has been added to India's Test squad for the Sri Lanka series. He will join the team ahead of the second game, which begins on August 20 in Colombo.
India's media manager confirmed to ESPNcricinfo that there was no injury concern for any of the other members of the squad, that Binny was just an "addition" to the 15-man unit.
Binny, a pace-bowler and lower middle-order batsman, has played three Tests, all on India's tour to England in mid 2014. While he did not pick up a wicket in any of those games, he scored a handy 78 in his debut Test, in Nottingham, to help India draw.
India lost the first Test of the series, in Galle, after being ahead for a large part of the match. There are two more matches to go, both in Colombo, one at the P Sara Oval and the other at the Sinhalese Sports Club.
