Dhoni, Harbhajan clear fitness test for SAfrica Test series

NEW DELHI: Ending the speculation surrounding offspinner Harbhajan Singh and ODI captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni's fitness, the Cricket Board yesterday said the duo has recovered from injuries and would be available for the three-Test series against South Africa starting next week.
While Harbhajan was nursing a left hamstring injury, Dhoni was recuperating from a sprain in the fourth finger of his right hand picked up during the tour of Australia.

However, both of them yesterday cleared the fitness test conducted by physiotherapist Paul Close in Bangalore.

"As per the report both the players have recovered from injuries and passed the required Physical Fitness Test and both are available for South Africa Series," the BCCI said in a statement.
