Flu-hit players to undergo fitness test

The test will be conducted before the match to determine if they are fit enough to play in the 2nd ODI against England.

Five key Indian players, including Sachin Tendulkar and pace spearhead Zaheer Khan, who have been down with flu, will undergo a fitness test to determine if they were fit enough to play in the second cricket one-dayer against England on Friday.

Apart from Tendulkar and Zaheer, Ajit Agarkar, R P Singh and Yuvraj Singh were the other players to have been hit by the viral bug.

India are trailing the seven-match one-day series after losing the first day and night game at the Rose Bowl in Southampton on Tuesday.

The second one-dayer, also a day-night affair, is expected to begin on time with the sun shining brightly.
