India national cricket team bowler Ishant Sharma will undergo a fitness test at Bengaluru's National Cricket Stadium on February, for the upcoming first Test match against New Zealand, starting on February 21, in Wellington.
He suffered a grade-3 tear on his ankle during Delhi-Vidarbha Ranji Trophy fixture in January. Since then, he has been on a rehabilitation programme at the NCA.
The fast bowler is crucial to India's plans in the upcoming Test series, and will be a boost if available.
