All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja today
staged a comeback in India's Test squad after a gap of nearly 14 months as selectors desisted from making wholesale changes to the
16-member squad for the first two matches against South Africa.
The 26-year-old Jadeja was the only change in the Test squad
that had last played against Sri Lanka in an away series.
