Fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah and Harshal Patel returned to the Indian team as selectors announced the squad for the T20 World Cup, which starts in Australia next month.
Injuries had ruled both pacers out of the squad for the just-concluded Asia Cup T20 tournament. Fast bowler Mohammed Shami was named as standby while Avesh Khan was dropped from India's pace arsenal for the tournament to be held from October 16 to November 13.
In the absence of Bumrah and Patel, India failed to qualify for the Asia Cup final after losing to eventual finalists Pakistan and Sri Lanka in the Super 4 stage.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar and left-arm fast bowler Arshdeep Singh, who both performed decently in the Asia Cup, were the other fast bowlers named in the 15-member squad.
