Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh on Wednesday said that beleaguered leg-spinner Amit Mishra will be available for the fourth ODI against South Africa in Chennai.
Earlier on Tuesday, a police complaint was lodged against Mishra by a woman in Bangalore, accusing the leg-spinner of verbally abusing and assaulting her.
However, Harbhajan believes that the situation wouldn't have an impact on Mishra's place in the team.
"He is definitely available. If the management feels that he should be playing on this track, he will play," Harbhajan said of Mishra, who has been asked to appear before the investigative officer for further investigation.
India are aiming to bounce back in the fourth match as they are trailing 1-2 in the five-match series.
