India allrounder Ravindra Jadeja is unlikely to get fit in time for the Bangladesh tour with the selectors reportedly set to name his replacement later this week. Jadeja was ruled out midway through Asia Cup 2022 where he picked up a knee injury following which he underwent a surgery.
The 33-year-old was named in both of India’s Test and ODI squad for the Bangladesh starting next month subject to fitness. “Mr. Ravindra Jadeja’s availability is subject to fitness,” a release from the BCCI read.
However, as per Cricbuzz, Jadeja hasn’t recovered yet from the injury. His last competitive match was against Hong Kong on August 31 and he missed the T20 World Cup in Australia as well in which India made it to the semifinals.
India are scheduled to play three ODIs and two Tests during the Bangladesh tour that begins from December 4.
