Binny was drafted into the Indian squad as the 16th member after India lost the Galle Test by 63 runs. "I think it will be a very good pitch. It may help the seamers on the first day and half an hour everyday. If you want somebody who can have proper seam bowling to fill in some overs and then bat also, Binny is the man.
