The BCCI secretary Niranjan Shah, who watched the Day IV action of the first Test at the VCA Stadium here on Saturday, said the Punjab batsman had sent his fitness certificate to the BCCI.

Report of the Team India physiotherapist would also be taken into consideration before the selection committee decides on the squad for the second Test,” he added. The squad will be of 15 players, he said.

Meanwhile, Shah pointed out that the Champions Trophy venues will be finalised in a fortnight.

“As of now, we have selected CCI, Mohali and Calcutta. We’ll arrive at a concrete decision regarding this within 10-15 days,” he said.
