Sehwag, Williams and Dighe make it to the Test squad
Staff Reporter - 23 October 2001

Indian selectors on Tuesday named the 16-man squad for the three-match Test series against South Africa. Zaheer Khan and Ashish Nehra, who were both found to be fit in the morning, were included. So also were Baroda opener Connor Williams and wicket-keeper Sameer Dighe.

Deep Dasgupta, the young wicket-keeper whose performance in the one-dayers had reportedly not pleased the team-management , has also been surprisingly retained. Virender Sehwag was the other player making it to an Indian Test squad for the first time.

The squad:

Saurav Ganguly (captain), Rahul Dravid (vice-captain), Shiv Sunder Das, Connor Williams, Sachin Tendulkar, V V S Laxman, Virender Sehwag, Sameer Dighe and Deep Dasgupta (wicket-keepers), Harbhajan Singh, Anil Kumble, Ajit Agarkar, Venkatesh Prasad, Zaheer Khan, Ashish Nehra and Javagal Srinath
