Stewart available for ODIs in India

Alec Stewart, who ruled himself out of England's current tour to India, is willing to change his mind and make himself available for the one-day internationals in January and February.

Asked by Sky Sports television on Friday if he would like to be considered for the one-day series should Graham Thorpe make himself unavailable, Stewart said: "As I sit here now, I would go back on my word originally.

"Yes, I would be available for the Indian one-day internationals to do whatever is now needed for the rest of the tour."

Stewart's Surrey and England team mate Thorpe flew back from India just before the start of the second Test earlier this month, citing personal reasons.

In Stewart's absence, Essex youngster James Foster has been the first-choice wicketkeeper for England in the Test series.

The squad fly home after the third and final Test ends on Sunday but return to India for the one-day leg of the tour early in the New Year.
