Block hole

Recommended Posts

Ravindra Jadeja, who played for the Rajasthan Royals in the first two seasons of the IPL, appears unlikely to feature in the tournament's third edition, starting next month, after his name was omitted from the Rajasthan squad list for 2010. He does not feature in any other squad list either. There has been no official statement from either the IPL or Rajasthan on Jadeja's status - IPL commissioner Lalit Modi did not respond to messages from Cricinfo. The player, when contacted on Friday night, said he was unaware of any reason why he should not be in the Rajasthan squad but did not wish to discuss the issue. Reports - which no official is willing to confirm - have suggested that Jadeja has been penalised for allegedly trying to negotiate terms with another franchise. Though Jadeja's name was removed from the Rajasthan squad list on the official IPL website around 11pm on Friday, he is still listed as a "batting star", along with his picture and vital stats. Jadeja, 21, is an India international, with 19 ODIs and five Twenty20 games under his belt. He was a key member of the team that won the Under-19 World Cup in Malaysia in 2008, which pitchforked him into the limelight and an IPL contract, worth US$30,000, with Rajasthan. He was one of the key performers in Rajasthan's victorious campaign in the inaugural IPL, leading Shane Warne, the captain and coach. to single him out as a special talent and a "superstar in the making". http://www.cricinfo.com/ci/content/current/story/448010.html
