The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has shared an update on Ravindra Jadeja after the all-rounder was seen missing from the squad for the India vs West Indies ODI and T20I series. The 33-year-old last donned the national colours in the 1st IND vs NZ Test in Kanpur nearly two months ago. Thereafter, he was ruled out of the second Test due to a knee injury.

Ravindra Jadeja couldn't part in the Test and ODI series against South Africa either. In the meantime, the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) retained the veteran for the 2022 Indian Premier League (IPL). Apart from Ravindra Jadeja, fast bowlers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami have also been rested from the limited-overs series against the Caribbean team.

R Jadeja is undergoing his final stage of recovery post his knee injury and will not be available for the ODIs and T20Is. Axar Patel will be available for the T20Is.”

The ODI series is set to get underway on Sunday, February 6 with all three games to take place at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The ODI series will be followed by the T20I series, starting Wednesday, February 16. All the T20Is will be played at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

India has given Deepak Hooda his maiden India call-up after he performed well for Rajasthan in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. The Men in Blue have also called up Avesh Khan and Ravi Bishnoi for the white-ball games. Rohit Sharma has also returned to lead the team after missing a few games due to a hamstring injury.
