# MP spinner Saransh Jain gets maiden India Test call-up after decade 2026-08-13T09:55:10+00:00 | Sports | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet NDTV reports that Madhya Pradesh off-spinner Saransh Jain has earned his maiden India Test call-up after a decade of domestic cricket. The 30-year-old said patience has been central to his journey, telling reporters that 'if you want to play Test cricket for India, you have to be patient.' Jain's reward comes after years of consistent performances for Madhya Pradesh in the Ranji Trophy and other tournaments. His call-up reflects the selectors' willingness to recognise long-serving domestic players. Jain, primarily a red-ball specialist, has taken over 300 first-class wickets. He now joins the Indian squad as cover for the spin department. ## Coverage - sports.ndtv.com Tags: BCCI, domestic cricket, India Test team, Madhya Pradesh cricket, off-spinner, Saransh Jain Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/mp-spinner-saransh-jain-gets-maiden-india-test-call-up-after-decade/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
