Axar Patel is back in the India team for the second Test

India’s fit-again all-rounder Axar Patel has been included in India’s team for the second Test against Sri Lanka, which begins on Saturday in Bengaluru. A decision has been made by Indian management to remove Kuldeep from the line-up. Besides the series against South Africa, Axar also missed a T20I series against the West Indies. COVID-19 had recently been detected in him.

According to a BCCI source, Axar was the first choice, but he needed rehab, so Kuldeep was the back-up, the insider stated.

In February 2021, Kuldeep Kuldeep appeared for his last test.

As a result, India won the first Test by an innings and 222 runs.
