“I’m hopeful to be fit in time before the quarters,” Tiwary, who underwent a rehab at the NCA in Bengaluru, said after the selection committee meeting.
The 20-member Bengal squad also included pacer Veer Pratap Singh, who also has fitness issues. The selectors though will prune the squad further after assessing the fitness concerns in next two days.
The current squad includes some uncapped players in Amit Kuila, Koushik Ghosh, Prasenjit Das and Ishan Porel.
The squad also features Ravi Kant Singh, who was recently cleared of a suspect action.
