The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has confirmed the Indian team that will face the West Indies in a limited-overs series consisting of three one-day internationals and three Twenty20 internationals. The series will begin on February 6, 2022. Here Is the Reason Behind Jadeja’s Omission From WI Series 2022.
Ravindra Jadeja was absent from the Indian team. The BCCI has also explained why the all-rounder was not selected for the Indian limited-overs team.
The BCCI’s official Twitter account revealed that Jadeja is getting towards the recovery from a knee injury and will therefore skip the limited-overs series versus the West Indies. Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami have also been sidelined for the series, according to the BCCI source.
