There are quitea few shocking inclusions as well though. Whether good or bad, it will be clear over the next few months.For the moment, let us have a look at these 5 players who got a surprisecall up from the selectors:

#5 Parvez Rasool

He was selected last year for the tour of Zimbabwe last year but was never given a chance to come down to the field and show his talents. 

Rasool made his debut for J&K in the 2008-09 season and has played 28 first-class matches, scoring 1617 runs and taking 78 wickets. In 2012-13 season, Rasool was extraordinary for his team and scored 594 runs and picked up 38 wickets in 7 matches, hence becoming the most successful J&K player in a season in the history.

He was not given much to do in IPL but he can flip the match around on his own.

His inclusion comes in as a pleasant surprise.
