Ravindra Jadeja confirms Vijay Hazare Trophy return, let's take a look at this photo collection to find out the fixtures he will play in.
Both matches will be held in Alur and, as per Jadeja’s communication with the Saurashtra Cricket Association (SCA), he is set to feature in both games, "Yes, he has confirmed to play these two games on January 6 and January 8. This is the plan for now," a senior SCA official told
Jadeja was left out of the ODI series in Australia but made his return in the recently concluded series against South Africa. Axar Patel was preferred in the Australia tour, the 37-year-old picked up just one wicket across three matches and scored 56 runs in the two innings he batted.
Jadeja's exclusion from the Australia tour led to speculation that he was no longer part of the team's plans, with a comment from chief selector Ajit Agarkar further intensifying the discussion.
"He is very much in the plans. But there will be some competition for places. Of course, he was there in the Champions Trophy squad, because we took those extra spinners with the conditions there. At the moment, we could only carry one and get some balance in the team with Washi and Kuldeep there as well. And I don’t think we are going to need more than that in Australia," Agarkar had said after the team for the Australia series was announced.
The 37-year-old left-hander is under strong competition from Axar Patel for his place in the side. Unlike the Champions Trophy in Dubai, India are unlikely to go with two left-arm spin all-rounders at the 2027 World Cup in South Africa.
With Jadeja absent in Australia, Axar finished as India’s second-highest run-scorer in the series with 75 runs from three innings and also claimed three wickets in as many matches.
