Squad selection for WI Tests postponed

Ashwin and Ishant will undergo a fitness test on Saturday

The injured duo of Ishant Sharma and Ravichandran Ashwin will undergo a fitness test on Saturday before the Indian selectors take a final call on their availability. That meant that the Indian squad for the upcoming Test series against Windies, which begins on October 4 was postponed.

"Ashwin is already doing his rehabilitation at the NCA for groin injury. Even Ishant is expected to join him there. As of now, there is a fitness test scheduled on Saturday, September 29. The selectors may announce the team a day earlier if NCA physios and trainers rule the duo out even before fitness tests," a senior BCCI official said.

However, MSK Prasad and Devang Gandhi have drawn up an initial list for the Test series after the meeting was cancelled.

"It was scheduled earlier but the five selectors' itinerary was clashing as one (Sarandeep Singh) is in Dubai while two others (Jatin Paranjpe and Gagan Khoda) are watching Hazare Trophy at different venues. So it was decided that this will be an informal meeting where the selectors will take a stock of the situation," the official added.
