NEWS India-South Africa Series 2006> Gloster declares Munaf fit for third Test 29th Dec 2006  22.26 IST By Agencies   Munaf Patel is fit and would be available for selection for India's third Test against South Africa beginning in Cape Town on January 2. "John Gloster (team physiotherapist) has sent a fitness update on all the players who had suffered injuries on the tour which includes Munaf Patel who has been declared fit to play the third Test," Cricket Board's Chief Administrative Officer Ratnakar Shetty said today in Mumbai. Gloster had replied to a missive from the BCCI over the fitness of Patel who has been a mere spectator since injuring his ankle in the second one-dayer on November 22. The letter was sent to the physio to get an update on Patel's progress from injury after the tour management decided to retain him instead of sending him home though he was not picked for the first two Tests.
