Indian cricket selectors have recalled former captain Sourav Ganguly for next month's Test series in Pakistan, 10 days after his abrupt axing caused an uproar in the cricket-mad nation.

The 33-year-old left-hander, plagued by poor batting form and fitness, was dropped for the third and final Test against the visiting Sri Lanka, which India won to claim the series 2-0.

India are scheduled to play three Test matches followed by five one-dayers in Pakistan.

India's Test squad: Rahul Dravid (capt), Virender Sehwag (vice-capt), Gautam Gambhir, Wasim Jaffer, Sachin Tendulkar, Venkatsai Laxman, Yuvraj Singh, Sourav Ganguly, Mahendra Dhoni, Parthiv Patel, Irfan Pathan, Zaheer Khan, Ajit Agarkar, Rudra Pratap Singh, Anil Kumble, Harbhajan Singh.
