India skipper Sourav Ganguly cleared the fitness test and will play the Platinum Jubilee One-Day International against Pakistan in Kolkata on Saturday.

Team physio Andrew Leipus cleared Ganguly for the one-off match after assessing his fitness during a nearly three-hour practice session on Friday morning.

"I'm playing tomorrow, I am fit," Ganguly told reporters later.

Ganguly had declared himself fit last week and played a Ranji Trophy match for Bengal, but the selectors insisted he would play only if he cleared an official fitness test.

Pakistan: Inzamam-ul Haq (captain), Yousuf Youhana, Taufiq Umer, Imran Farhat, Salman Butt, Shahid Afridi, Shoaib Malik, Younis Khan, Abdul Razzaq, Aamir Basheer, Kamran Akmal, Shoaib Akhtar, Mohammad Sami, Riaz Afridi and Rana Naveed-ul Hassan.

Umpires: Simon Taufel (Australia), K Hariharan (India)

Third Umpire: I Shivaram (India)

Match referee: Clive Lloyd

Hours of play: 1430 IST to 1800 IST, 1845 IST to 2215 IST.
