Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja is prone to miss the opening Test towards Australia owing to the concussion and a hamstring damage that he sustained throughout the opening T20 International in Canberra. The 32-year-old, who’s on the cusp of his 50th Test, is prone to be out for a minimum of three weeks which actually guidelines him out of the primary Day/Night Test in Adelaide beginning December 17. In case it seems to be a hamstring tear, it may properly rule him out of the second Boxing Day Test in Melbourne from December 26.
“As per ICC’s concussion protocols, after any head injury, a player needs to be rested for 7 to 10 days, which effectively rules Jadeja out of the three-day day/night warm-up game at the SCG from December 11,” a BCCI supply advised PTI on circumstances of anonymity.
“Therefore, it is next to impossible that the Indian team management would field Jadeja, without any warm-up game time ahead of the opening Test,” the supply added.
However, greater than concussion, it’s understood that the hamstring damage is prone to preserve Jadeja out of motion for a minimum of one Test if not two. In truth, one of many on-air commentators, throughout the second day of the warm-up sport between India A and Australia A, mentioned that “news is Jadeja is out for three weeks” attributable to concussion.
However as per BCCI sources, whereas he’s recovering properly from concussion, to be totally match from a dodgy hamstring could take a while.

Jadeja has been a daily function at any time when India has gone with a single spinner in abroad Test matches. In 49 Tests, he has taken 213 wickets and scored 1869 runs with 100 and 14 fifties at a mean of 35.26.
Jadeja’s damage will definitely imply that Ravichandran Ashwin would be the single spinner as he had appeared stronger than younger left-armer Kuldeep Yadav throughout the warm-up match towards Australia A.
