Chennai, Feb 13: Rookie Mumbai pacer Dhawal Kulkarni today earned a surprise call up to India’s Test squad while fit-again speedster Lakshmipathy Balaji and his Tamil Nadu teammate Dinesh Kaarthick staged a comeback for the gruelling tour of New Zealand starting next week.
The 20-year-old Kulkarni, who first came into the limelight in the inaugural edition of the Indian Premier League, has been rewarded for his consistent show in the domestic circuit.
Apart from Kulkarni’s inclusion, there were no major surprises in the teams -- Test, ODI and Twenty20 -- that were picked here after a meeting of the National selection Panel headed by former India captain Krish Srikkanth.
