Jadeja suffered a right knee injury during the Asia Cup. He was ruled out after playing matches against Pakistan and Hong Kong in the tournament. He played an important role in the victory of Team India in both the matches. Jadeja had undergone surgery on the right knee.
Here we are telling you the names of three players who are ahead in this race.
Injuries have kept Washington Sundar away from international cricket for a long time. Sundar’s career has been marred by injuries since his debut and now he has a chance to make his place. He was supposed to fly to Zimbabwe, but was ruled out of the series due to an injury sustained while playing the Royal London One Day Cup in England. Sundar can be picked in place of Jadeja. Apart from off-spin in the powerplay, he can also score runs fast. Bengal and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) all-rounder Shahbaz Ahmed made it to the national team for the Zimbabwe series but was denied a chance to debut. With Jadeja sitting out for a few months, Shahbaz may be given a chance. He has proved his mettle in the IPL. He is young and can serve the national team for many years. Axar Patel, who replaced Jadeja in the Asia Cup squad, looks like the first choice. He is also a strong contender to be a part of the T20 World Cup for the first time in his career. Axar can take wickets and score important runs like Jadeja. Akshar was part of the 2015 World Cup squad and is likely to travel to Australia for another World Cup after seven years. Characters can also be selected for the home series against Australia.
