Patel, also an off-spinner, (36), last played for the Test side in 2013, but has been a star performer for Warwickshire on the UK county circuit.

Hesson said it was important to have an off-spinner in India, and that Patel fitted the bill perfectly.

“Jeetan is up to speed from a bowling load perspective having recently completed a successful county season – so he will be ready for the rigours of Test cricket,” said Hesson.

“He’ll also add invaluable experience to our young spin group.”

The second Test between the two teams is scheduled to begin in Kolkata from Friday.
