Birendra Lakra, Ramdeep Singh and Sardar Singh r back in the team ... Rupinder Pal Singh, Kothajit, Gurinder Singh, Sumit, Gurjant Singh and Lalit Upadhyay removed from the team ... Happy to see Jarmanpreet Singh is given chance ... Last year he finished his 2 yrs. ban after his samples tested positive for 19-norandrosterone, a metabolite of nandrolone (an anabolic steroid) in February 2015 ... Jarmanpreet had contested that the failed test was a result of an injection administered by a medical practitioner in his home town, Amritsar, for lower back pain in December 2014.
