Calcutta: Mohammed Kaif, who last donned India colours in the ODI series in South Africa, is back in ‘favour.’

According to a BCCI release, the UP player is among 15 probables named for a batsmen-specific fitness camp to be held before selecting the Indian squad for the tours of Ireland and England. The NCA in Bangalore will host the camp for batsmen from June 9-12.

The injured Manoj Tiwary and Suresh Raina were not considered.

The camp for bowlers will be held at Mysore’s Infosys campus from June 4-8. Bengal medium pacer Ranadeb Bose is in the list of 14 probables.

Harbhajan Singh, Ajit Agarkar and Irfan Pathan — who were ignored after the disastrous World Cup campaign — have also made a ‘comeback.’ Whether they ultimately get selected remains to be seen.

Those who make the squad will have to attend a conditioning camp at the NCA from June 13-16.

The BCCI released the probables lists after consultation with selection committee chairman Dilip Vengsarkar.

The six Indians who have made the Asia squads — Sachin, Harbhajan, Sehwag, Yuvraj, Dhoni and Munaf — will be released from the camps in case of a clash with the Afro-Asia Cup matches.

Piyush Chawla and Yo Mahesh are not among the probables as they will be leaving for training at the Australian Cricket Academy on June 2.
