To add to the woes, Patel also tested positive of covid-19 ahead of the West Indies T20Is.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Now fit, Axar will be back in the squad replacing Kuldeep, who was a backup for him in the test squad.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Axar was the first choice but had to undergo recovery and hence Kuldeep was a backup. Now Axar is fit and back so Kuldeep has been released,&quot; a BCCI official said as quoted by Times Of India.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Also Read: <\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/top-10-cricket-news-of-the-day\">Latest Cricket News<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>India currently lead the two-match test series 1-0 after beating Sri Lanka by an inning and 222 runs in the Mohali Test, which was also marked Virat Kohli&#39;s 100th game of the format and Rohit Sharma&#39;s first as test captain.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
