India, 1-0 down in the five-match series, will take on England in the second Test at Visakhapatnam on Friday. With KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja out due to injuries, Patidar could make his Test debut for India.
Leach faced a knee issue while fielding on the opening day of England's thrilling 28-run victory over India in the opening Test in Hyderabad, but the left-armer still managed to feature in the game and also bowled 10 overs during the hosts' second innings, as per ICC.
