Agarwal told ESPNcricinfo that he was "fit and fine and there were no major issues."
The return of Agarwal, along with Devdutt Padikkal injects much-needed experience and firepower into the Karnataka lineup. Their absence in the previous rounds had left Karnataka vulnerable, evident in their narrow escape against Railways where they scraped past on the back of Manish Pandey's unbeaten 67 with just one wicket in hand.
Karnataka will take on Tamil Nadu in the sixth round of the Ranji Trophy starting on February 9 at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
Karnataka squad: Mayank Agarwal (c), Devdutt Padikkal, R Samarth, Nikin Jose, Manish Pandey, Sharath Srinivas (wk), Aneesh KV, Vyshak Vijayakumar, V Koushik, K Shashikumar, Sujay Sateri (wk), M Venkatesh, Vidwath Kaverappa, Kishan Bedare, Rohit Kumar, Hardik Raj
