Mumbai: Spinners Harbhajan Singh and Murali Kartik were recalled to the Indian cricket team for the first two Tests against Pakistan while in-form batsman Gautam Gambhir was left out.
Paceman Irfan Pathan and Virender Sehwag also failed to find a place in the 14-member squad announced by the Cricket Board. Full Coverage: Pakistan in India 2007 There were no major surprises in the team, to be captained by veteran leg-spinner Anil Kumble with current ODI and Twenty20 captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni being made his deputy.

Dinesh Kaarthik and Wasim Jaffer are the two openers.

Squad: Anil Kumble (C), Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, V V S Laxman, M S Dhoni, Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan, Wasim Jaffer, R P Singh, S Sreesanth, Murali Kartik, Dinesh Karthik.
