On September 2nd, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced in a press conference that “ Ravindra Jadeja has sustained a right knee injury and is ruled out of the tournament.

The 33-year-old all-rounder was a key performer in both of India’s matches at the Asia Cup. He was India’s joint-highest run-scorer in the match against Pakistan. Scoring 35 runs and allowing just 11 runs in two overs. Jadeja bowled four overs and took one wicket in India’s 40-run victory over the Hong Kong National Cricket Team.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has picked Axar Patel. A talented spin-bowling all-rounder to replace Jadeja in the Asia Cup roster. Axar, who was previously chosen as a stand-by player with Shreyas Iyer and Deepak Chahar, will shortly join the Indian squad in Dubai.
