The duo, along with Zaheer's pace understudy Umesh Yadav, sat out of the Asia Cup in Bangladesh in March on fitness grounds. They were also not part of the squad for the one-off Twenty 20 International in South Africa on March 30 which was India's last international engagement.

With these three players expected to be available for selection, the squad for the Lanka tour -- comprising only One-Day Internationals and Twenty20 ties -- is set to see some changes from the side which flopped in the Asia Cup and lost the rain-hit T20 match to the hosts in Johannesburg by D/L method.
