New Delhi: The third specialist spinner's slot will be the subject of much deliberation when the national selection committee, headed by Sandeep Patil, meets here tomorrow to announce the squad for the three-Test away series against Sri Lanka starting August 12.

Barring this one aspect, the five wise men on the selection panel would have very little to fret on while picking the squad for the longer format where at least 13 players will automatically select themselves. Apart from third spinner's position, it will also be interesting to find out whether it will be a 15 or 16-member squad for the three-match series.
