On his call-up Meaker said: "I wasn't expecting it so soon. It was definitely in my sights in the near future, it just happened to come sooner than I thought.
"I've been given a chance to show what I have got. I'll work very hard when I'm out there and hopefully they will see that hard work and it will give them confidence to potentially give me a game.
"It's a very proud day for me. This has been something I've been looking forward to since playing for Surrey as a young man."
On what he can bring to the squad, the Surrey man added: "I'm lucky because I've got a great deal of natural pace, just in the way I bowl and my action. In one-day cricket, I've worked hard at my variations.
"I've got a couple of slower balls which will hopefully come into play on the sub-continent."
Eoin Morgan has been ruled out of the tour after having shoulder surgery but Jonathan Trott and Ian Bell return after missing last week's Twenty20 internationals against West Indies.
National selector Geoff Miller said: "This squad contains an exciting balance of experienced international cricketers along with some very talented youngsters who can play the high-quality limited-overs cricket needed to challenge India."
