India recalls fit-again Kumar
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 23 - 11 - 2016

[caption id="attachment_100836" align="alignleft" width="193"] Bhuvneshwar Kumar[/caption]MUMBAI - India has recalled fit-again seamer Bhuvneshwar Kumar for the remaining three Tests of the series against England, the Board of Control for Cricket in India said Tuesday.
Opening batsman Gautam Gambhir was dropped from the 16-man squad.

"Whether he plays the next match or not, I think he'll play a lot more for England.
"Every level you get to, you go up. It gets harder and harder, and the step is bigger. Ben's working harder than anyone in the nets to try to fix things up, getting himself into a position that he is confident enough to score runs."
England has two batting options in its squad - Gary Ballance and Buttler - to replace Duckett. But Ballance was also dropped after aggregating 24 in four innings during the 1
