The 16-member Tamil Nadu team for Vijay Hazare Trophy, led by all-rounder Vijay Shankar, will be without the services of the Indian cricket team wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik, but Ravichandran Ashwin and Murali Vijay, back from the Test series vs South Africa cricket team, will be in action.

Indian cricket team Test players Ravichandran Ashwin and Murali Vijay were included in the Tamil Nadu team for Vijay Hazare Trophy Group C League which will be played in Chennai from February 5 to 14.

The two cricketers were part of the team that went down 1-2 in the three-Test series against South Africa, which concluded recently. While Vijay was never a regular in the India limited-over set up, Ashwin has lost his place in the team and so has Ravindra Jadeja.
