India retains Patel for England Test
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 07 - 12 - 2016

Wicketkeeper Parthiv Patel has retained his place in the India side for the fourth Test against England after Wriddhiman Saha failed to recover from a thigh strain, the team said Tuesday.
Pace bowler Ishant Sharma, who has not played any of the three Tests so far, was also released from the team after local media reports that he was getting married.
"The BCCI medical team has confirmed that wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha is still recuperating from the strain in his left thigh, which he sustained during the second Test match," the BCCI said in a statement.
"As a precautionary measure, Saha has been advised rest. The BCCI medical team is monitoring the wicketkeeper-batsman's progress."
The 31-year-old Patel was brought in for the third Test in Mohali, which Virat Kohli's side won by eight wickets to take a 2-0 lead in the best of five series.
Patel, who had not played a Test since 2008, opened the innings with Murali Vijay and scored 42 and 67 not out in the match.
The fourth Test in Mumbai starts on Thursday, with the last match in Chennai from Dec. 16-20.
England, meanwhile, is bidding to keep the India series alive with victory in this week's Test in mumbai but defeat will raise further questions about Alastair Cook's future as captain.
Morgan returns as ODI captain
Eoin Morgan returns to captain England in both the One-Day International and Twenty20 series with India after opting out of the Bangladesh part of the tour over security fears.
The 30-year-old Ireland-born batsman has been joined in both the squads by Alex Hales who also sat out the Bangladesh tour for similar reasons.
Jos Buttler, who replaced Morgan as captain for the Bangladesh leg of the tour, is also in the squad.
Squads
ODI: Moeen Ali, Jonathan Bairstow, Jake Ball, Sam Billings, Jos Buttler, Liam Dawson, Alex Hales, Eoin Morgan (captain), Liam Plunkett, Adil Rashid, Joe Root, Jason Roy, Ben Stokes, David Willey, Chris Woakes.
T20: Moeen Ali, Jake Ball, Sam Billings, Jos Buttler, Liam Dawson, Alex Hales, Chris Jordan, Tymal Mills, Eoin Morgan (captain), Liam Plunkett, Adil Rashid, Joe Root, Jason Roy, Ben Stokes, David Willey.
