Ashley Giles, Craig White and James Ormond have all been passed fit to tour India following fitness tests at Edgbaston.

White and Ormond were cleared by medical experts and England physiotherapist Dean Conway after a long bowl in the nets.

Although Giles was also given the all clear, he is still struggling to recover from the surgery he underwent in the summer and will not be fit until the first Test at the earliest.

"He is not expected to be available for selection for the warm-up matches in India," the England and Wales Cricket Board said in a press release. "But if his recovery goes to plan he will be in contention for the Test matches."

Giles remained optimistic that his rehabilitation will be helped by travelling to India. "Once I get out there it will give me an opportunity to get used to playing on grass again and work on my fitness. I'm not going to put pressure on myself by saying when I think I will be ready to play again, but hopefully I can be in the frame for the first Test."
