Left‑arm fast bowler Gurnoor Brar has been added to the Indian Test squad, his first call‑up for the format.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the inclusion of left‑arm pacer Gurnoor Brar in the 15‑member squad for the upcoming Test series. This marks Brar's first selection for the longest format of the game.
Brar earned the call‑up after a string of impressive performances in domestic cricket, particularly in the Ranji Trophy where he consistently delivered pace and swing for Punjab. His wicket‑taking ability and disciplined line have drawn attention from national selectors.
The decision underscores the board's emphasis on expanding the pace pool ahead of the forthcoming home Test fixtures, giving the young bowler an opportunity to prove himself at the highest level.
