Agarkar fit

MUMBAI, MARCH 20 . Mumbai seamer Ajit Agarkar has been declared fit for the three Test series against Pakistan by the BCCI's medical advisor Dr. Anant Joshi.

"I saw Dr. Joshi on Friday and my fitness certificate has been sent to the Board,'' said Agarkar. The national selection committee is to meet on Monday to pick the team for the Test series.

Agarkar has been under treatment for a sore shin of the landing foot from midway through the VB Series Tri-series in Australia.

He played the first final at Melbourne on February 6. He was advised rest for a period of two weeks by Dr. Joshi on February 29 and hence was not selected for the first part of the Samsung Cup featuring five one-day internationals against Pakistan. In his last two one-day internationals in Australia, Agarkar bowled 18.1 overs and conceded 114 runs for two wickets.
