Parthiv Patel set to play Mumbai test

With India wicket-keeper Wriddhiman Saha still recovering from a strain in his left thigh, comeback-man Parthiv Patel is set to play the fourth Test against England starting in Mumbai on October 8. Patel impressed with scores of 42 and 67 in the two innings at Mohali on his comeback into the side after eight years.

"Parthiv Patel will continue to be part of the Indian Test team for the 4th Test of the five-match Paytm Test Series to be held in Mumbai from December 8, 2016," BCCI secretary Ajay Shirke said in a release.

Saha, who had suffered the niggle during the second Test at Visakhapatnam, has been rested for the upcoming Test. Meanwhile, Ishant Sharma, who has been part of the squad for the first three Tests, has been released for his wedding.
