Skipper: Andrew Strauss (left) is all very well but there are doubts now more Ajmal Shahzad (right) Photo: AFPThe two reported fit for the practice of the MA Chidambaram Stadium this afternoon, but Ajmal Shahzad has emerged as a new doubt for World Cup for Thursday's crunch fixture after also succumbed to stomach.
Shahzad is the sixth Player in England to take sick at some time on this month-long journey so far.
But only Stuart Broad, who was later to return because of a strain of side has again missed a match and Strauss appears confident that he and Swann should be able to take on the Windies.
"I feel very good now," said Strauss. "I was put down before the last night and yesterday morning."
Graeme Swann is recovering well and should be practical now. I don't know if it is as dynamic as I am, but we are still very confident that he will be fine for tomorrow.
"Ajmal Shahzad was struck by it even and it probably will not practise today."
"We are not certain at this stage if it is going to affect his chances to be selected tomorrow."
Shahzad took three wickets in the defeat of England in Bangladesh in Chittagong Friday, a result which means that they must beat West Indies have any chance of progression to the quarterfinals.
Doubts about the Yorkshire seamer's fitness may reopen the door to James Anderson, though the direction of the team are thought to feel the hero of ash is due a rest after such a difficult winter.
Strauss refused to confirm or deny any selection problem before the day of the match.
