Talented Uttar Pradesh all-rounder Suresh Raina and left-hand Gujarat batsman Neeraj Patel were named in a list of 36 probables for the upcoming triangular series to be held in Sri Lanka later this month.

Railway paceman Harvinder Singh staged a comeback to national reckoning after a four-year gap while all the other established players, barring Sachin Tendulkar, found a place in the list announced by BCCI Secretary S K Nair in Bangalore on Tuesday.

Tendulkar, who recently had a surgery on a troublesome elbow, has been ruled out of action for 14 weeks and was therefore not considered for the camps to be held at the National Cricket Academy in three phases.

Nair said the selection committee, before its meeting, had a discussion with new coach Greg Chappell, who gave his thoughts on the composition of the team.

"The committee had deliberation with the new coach on various aspects including the camp. The committee also gave Chappell a feedback on the performance of the Indian team in the last so many matches," Nair said.

Probables: Sourav Ganguly, Virender Sehwag, Rahul Dravid, Mohammed Kaif, Yuvraj Singh, V V S Laxman, Dinesh Mongia, Gautam Gambhir, Suresh Raina, Venugopala Rao, Neeraj Patel, Dheeraj Jadhav, M S Dhoni, Dinesh Kaarthick, Parthiv Patel, Anil Kumble, Harbhajan Singh, Murali Kartik, S Sriram, Hemang Badani, Zaheer Khan, L Balaji, Ashish Nehra, Irfan Pathan, Ajit Agarkar, Gagandeep Singh, S S Paul, Ranadeb Bose, Harvinder Singh, Amit Bhandari, Siddharth Trivedi, Sreeshanth, Joginder Sharma, Munaf Patel, J P Yadav, Rajamani Jesuraj.
