Batting great Sachin Tendulkar has returned to India's one-day international squad for the tri-series against Australia and Sri Lanka.
The veteran, 38, was selected in India's ODI squad on Sunday for the first time since their successful 2011 World Cup campaign.
Medium-pacer Praveen Kumar has also been named after being ruled out of the four-Test series against Australia because of a fractured rib.
Irfan Pathan, who played his first international for India in more than two years in the fifth ODI against the West Indies in December, has retained his spot.
All-rounder Yuvraj Singh has been left out as he continues to recover from a non-malignant lung tumour.
India: MS Dhoni, Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Sachin Tendulkar, Suresh Raina, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Manoj Tiwary, Parthiv Patel, Zaheer Khan, Umesh Yadav, Irfan Pathan, Ranganath Vinay Kumar, Praveen Kumar.
