MUMBAI : Left-arm spinner Axar Patel has returned to India's squad for the second and final test against Sri Lanka in Bengaluru after recovering from an injury and COVID-19, the country's cricket board (BCCI) said on Tuesday.
Axar Patel has been added to India squad for the second Test against Sri Lankaset to be played in Bengaluru from March 12, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) said in a media release. "The All-India Senior Selection Committee has added Axar Patel to India's squad for the second Paytm Test to be played from 12-16th March in Bengaluru. The all-rounder has completed his rehab and has been cleared by the BCCI Medical Team," the statement said. According to the Indian board, Axar is fit after the completion of his "rehab" as he replaces Kuldeep Yadav in the squad.
Fit-again all-rounder Axar Patel has replaced left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav in India squad for the second Test against Sri Lanka, beginning in Bengaluru on Saturday. The Indian team management has released Kuldeep from the squad. Axar had been recovering from a shin injury that had forced him to miss the South Africa tour and the T20I series against the West Indies. He had also tested positive for COVID-19 recently.
The T20 format offers a wide range of action on and off the field. The frequent occurrence of sixes being hit, the crowd getting involved and drama that comes along, makes T20 a complete package. The excitement hits another level especially when the Indian cricket team is involved at home. An amusing incident unfolded during the second T20I against Sri Lanka in Dharamsala when two Indian players, who were making their way from the dugout to the team huddle, came in the way of the umpire and gestured the signal out even before the umpire did. The players in question were Mohammed Siraj and Kuldeep Yadav while Jayaraman Madangopal was the umpire.
