India all-rounder Axar Patel has recovered completely and is now available for selection for the second Test in Chennai against England to be played from Saturday.
The all-rounder had complained of pain in his left knee and was ruled out of the first Test. The Board of Control for Cricket in India then had included spinners Shahbaz Nadeem and Rahul Chahar to the Indian Test squad.
Since Axar is available for selection for the second Test the All-India Senior Selection Committee has now withdrawn Nadeem and Chahar from the main squad and added the duo back to the group of standby players.
"Axar Patel has recovered completely and is now available for selection for the 2nd Paytm Test in Chennai against England to be played from Saturday, 13th February," the BCCI said in an official statement.
