Rohit returns for India Tests

AFP,  NEW DELHI: Batsman Rohit Sharma has returned to India's Test squad for the three-match series in Sri Lanka that starts this month, the country's cricket board said Sunday.

Rohit, who was rested for the West Indies tour after an injury made him miss most of the Indian Test season, replaces Karun Nair in the 16-man squad. While Rohit injured himself during a one-day international, the 25-year-old Nair made his mark with a Test triple century against England at Chennai in December.

Nair failed to capitalise on that epic knock, managing just 54 runs in four innings after it. Rohit, who last played a Test against New Zealand.
