Tamil Nadu has made three changes to its Ranji Trophy squad for the third-round match against defending champion Vidarbha, beginning on Saturday in Coimbatore.

Left-arm pacer Gurjapneet Singh, who claimed a hat-trick against Nagaland in the previous round, has been rested after picking up a niggle in that game. All-rounder R.S. Ambrish and off-spinner J. Hemchudeshan too are not available as they have been called for under-19 preparations.

The selectors have named R. Sonu Yadav, S. Mohamed Ali, and T.D. Lokesh Raj as replacements in the 16-member squad.

TN has just three points after the first two rounds, courtesy the first-innings lead against Nagaland, while it lost to Jharkhand by an innings and 114 runs in the first game.
