Selection intrigue grows as Kuldeep misses final training and Saransh shines before Colombo Test

Kuldeep Yadav's absence from India's final training sessions and Saransh Jain's strong showing in the nets have intensified selection intrigue ahead of the second Test between India and Sri Lanka at the Sinhalese Sports Club ground in Colombo, which will start from Sunday.

Saransh Jain's net form, together with Sri Lanka's left-hand-heavy batting line-up, is cited as adding weight to the off-spinner's case.
