India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has been out of cricket since January 2021 when he had suffered a fractured and dislocated thumb on his right hand during the Sydney Test match against Australia. He had been hurt by a short-pitched delivery on his hand and later scans revealed the damage.
This put him out of contention for the ongoing England Test series and though it was expected that he might get fit for the limited-overs series, BCCI later confirmed that Jadeja will be missing the 8 white-ball matches against England as well.
Ravindra Jadeja is at NCA, Bengaluru working on his fitness and getting back in international cricket shape as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, Akshar Patel replaced Jadeja in the Indian Test team will great success, picking 18 wickets in two Tests he has played thus far, including 11/70 in the third Test at his home ground in Ahmedabad.
Meanwhile, Jadeja himself shared a video of his outdoor training as he is seen doing sprints. “Back on the field #firstday #postsurgery,” Jadeja captioned his post.
