Will Jadeja Make a Comeback? NCA Arrival Fuels Debate Over England Series Return

Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has started his rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru after suffering a hamstring injury during the first Test against England in Hyderabad. Unfortunately, he will miss the second Test in Visakhapatnam, further weakening India’s batting lineup, which already lost KL Rahul to a quadriceps injury and Virat Kohli due to personal reasons.

Jadeja shared a photo of the NCA on Instagram, indicating that he will be there for the next few days. The BCCI medical team is closely monitoring the progress of both Jadeja and Rahul. In response to these injuries, the selection committee added Sarfaraz Khan, Sourabh Kumar, and Washington Sundar to the squad for the second Test.

There are uncertainties about Jadeja’s return for the third Test, as the extent of his injury is not clearly stated by the BCCI. A source mentioned that Rahul might return later in the series, but Jadeja’s injury could be more serious, and the NCA’s medical team will provide further insights.

The article discusses the challenges in replacing Jadeja for the second Test. While Kuldeep Yadav is a frontrunner, his inclusion might weaken the batting lineup. The decision could be influenced by the pitch conditions in Vizag – if it favors spin, Kuldeep might replace a fast bowler, and either Sundar or Saurabh could fill Jadeja’s spot. The absence of key players poses a challenge for the Indian team as they navigate through the ongoing Test series against England.
