Sharma cleared to tour UK
Top batsman Rohit Sharma cleared a fitness test Wednesday and will join India's tour of the United Kingdom, bringing relief to selectors after two others recently failed to pass muster.
Sharma, whose inclusion in the limited-overs squad was considered vital for any hope of Indian success, passed the 'yo-yo' running exercise introduced to ensure players were up to scratch.
All eyes were on Sharma and he proved his endurance after Mohammed Shami and Ambati Rayudu failed the same test.
India will play two T20Is in Ireland before travelling to England for a three-month tour starting with the first T20I on July 3.
