Saransh Jain receives maiden India Test call-up at age 33

Spinner Saransh Jain has earned his first India Test call-up for the Sri Lanka series at the age of 33. The domestic all-rounder described the selection as a dream come true after years of consistent performances.

Jain took 30 wickets in the recent Ranji Trophy season, contributing with both bat and ball for his state team. His selection comes as India seek options in the spin department for the two-Test series.

The call-up rewards sustained domestic excellence rather than early promise. Jain's experience could prove valuable in Sri Lankan conditions that typically assist spin bowling.
