Agarkar, who injured himself while fielding during India's Champions Trophy game against West Indies at Ahmedabad, was tested in Mumbai under the supervision of Dr Anant Joshi, the Indian board's doctor, and John Gloster, the Indian team physio.

"Agarkar has been declared fit. He has been practising with the Mumbai team for the last two days," Ratnakar Shetty, the board's Chief Administrative Officer, told Hindustan Times, after Gloster submitted the fitness report.

Agarkar's injury forced him out of India's virtual quarter-final against Australia at Mohali. The selectors had named VRV Singh, the Punjab fast bowler, as a standby in case Agarkar was unfit to travel.

Agarkar said that he felt "perfectly alright" and that the pain had reduced considerably. "It was a bit painful in the first week and then it subsided," he said. "I was doing some fitness work and bowling was not a problem. Fortunately it (the injury) was not in my bowling arm. It did not stop me from bowling but it was painful to grip the bat or even take catches."
