Indian cricket team Test players Ravichandran Ashwin and Murali Vijay were included in the Tamil Nadu team for Vijay Hazare Trophy Group C League which will be played in Chennai from February 5 to 14.<\/p>\n
The two cricketers were part of the team that went down 1-2 in the three-Test series against South Africa, which concluded recently. While Vijay was never a regular in the India limited-over set up, Ashwin has lost his place in the team and so has Ravindra Jadeja.<\/p>\n
The 16-member team led by all-rounder Vijay Shankar will be without the services of experienced keeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik, who is part of the Indian ODI and T20 teams in South Africa.<\/p>\n
Baba Aparajith is the vice captain, said a TNCA release.<\/p>\n
Abhinav Mukund, who led the state side in the Ranji Trophy, misses out due to injury.<\/p>\n
Paceman Aswin Crist, who missed the Ranji Trophy season owing to injury, makes a comeback.<\/p>\n
The Tamil Nadu selection committee chairman S Sharath said the presence of Ashwin and Vijay will be a boost to the team.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe squad is a mix of experience and youth. The presence of Ashwin and Vijay will be a boost for the team. A few good players missed out,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Squad: Vijay Shankar (captain), B Aparajith (vice captain), R Ashwin, M Vijay, M Kaushik Gandhi, M S Washington Sundar, Ganga Sridhar Raju, B Anirudh Sita Ram, N Jagadeesan (WK), K Vignesh, V Yomahesh, Aswin Crist, J Kousik, R Sai Kishore, Raahil Shah, M Abhinav.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
