Sri Lanka vs India 2017: 5 players who are missing from India's previous ODI series in Sri Lanka

Australia 'A' v India 'A' - Quadrangular Series Final
The Bengal skipper last played for India two years back

#4. Pragyan Ojha

India v CA Chairman's XI - Day 1
The spinner has not played a single ODI since India's Tour of Sri Lanka five years ago

Ojha played the first two ODIs of India’s Tour of Sri Lanka in 2012, picking up 1/44 from 6 overs in the first ODI at Hambantota following which, he conceded 7 runs of the 5 deliveries he bowled in the second ODI, also at Hambantota.

Ojha did not play the next three ODIs and was dropped from the ODI team following the series, not receiving a call-up further. Ojha continued to play Tests until 2013 as he was also dropped from the Test team following West Indies’ Tour of India.

Ojha hasn’t received a recall to the Indian side since 2013 and he currently plays for Bengal in the domestic circuit.

With the likes of Ravi Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja excelling in the spin department, it is highly likely that we have seen the last of Pragyan Ojha in an India shirt.
