"With Virat at this point, it's just been less than a week since he injured himself in the [IPL] finals," India's chairman of selectors, Ajit Agarkar said.
"We don't know the timelines yet," Agarkar said. "But it looks like he might be fit for that England one-day series. It's not a definitive answer, so don't hold me to it. I haven't had a clear timeline from the physio yet."
