Ishant Sharma is fit for the 1st test (Boxing day Dec.26 ) against Australia
The Indian cricket team will not seek a cover for injured pacer Ishant Sharma as he is expected to be fit for the opening Test against Australia next week even though he has been ruled out of a three-day practice match starting, in Canberra, on Monday.
"The doctor has advised him rest till Monday. So we would have a fresh look at him on Tuesday. But the work on him is going on and he's improving," media manager G S Walia said.
