Finally! IPL heroes Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan, Rahul Tewatia called in for T20 squad

Wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant, who has been in impressive form with the bat, has also been recalled in the limited-overs set-up.

Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan have been included in India's T20I squad for the five-match T20I series against England, scheduled to start from March 12 at the newly-constructed Motera Stadium in Ahmedabad. Along with Suryakumar and Ishan, all-rounder Rahul Tewatia has also been added to the T20I set-up.

Kishan's selection comes hours after his blistering knock in the Vijay Hazare trophy. The left-hander smashed a blistering 173 off just 94 balls to lead Jharkhand to a massive 324-run victory over Madhya Pradesh. Similarly, Yadav also earned a maiden T20I call-up after an impressive season with Mumbai Indians and consistent performances in domestic cricket.
