Fit-again all-rounder Axar Patel has replaced left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav for India’s second Test against Sri Lanka, beginning here on Saturday.
The Indian team management has released Kuldeep from the squad.

Axar had been recovering from a shin injury that had forced him to miss the South Africa tour and the T20 series against West India. He had also tested positive for COVID-19 recently.
