Binny to join Test squad in Sri Lanka

New Delhi - All-rounder Stuart Binny has been drafted into the Indian team for its ongoing three-Test series in Sri Lanka.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India named Binny as an additional member, taking the squad to 16, after India lost last week's opening Test in Galle by 63 runs.

Binny is expected to lend batting depth to the Virat Kohli-led side that went into the first Test with five specialist bowlers and failed badly in a chase of 176 runs.

The second Test starts in Colombo on Thursday.
