bowl_out Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja is likely to miss out from the upcoming 2015 World Cup following his shoulder injury. It is also believed that discarded southpaw Yuvraj Singh is likely to replace Jadeja in the Indian squad for the coveted tournament. Jadeja, who sustained a shoulder injury ahead of the India-Australia Test series, has been nursing his injury at the new BCCI centre in Chennai under the observation of the cricket body's physiotherapist. However, the reports suggest that the 26-year-old is yet to achieve full fitness in order to return to competitive cricket. The BCCI secretary Sanjay Patel had last month revealed that the left-hander would be out of action for three to four weeks following his shoulder injury. Jadeja was also ruled out of the upcoming Tri-series in Australia, slated to begin from January 16. With the January 7 deadline for announcing the World Cup squad around the corner, Jadeja will have to fight against time if he intends to participate in the tournament. According to the ESPNcricinfo reports, Jadeja should be match-fit by around January 20 if his rehabilitation goes according to plan. Even if Jadeja fails to recover in time for the World Cup, the BCCI can get him replaced on medical grounds. This in turn has allowed a slim hope for discarded senior batsman Yuvraj Singh who has recently found his long-lost form. Yuvraj's recent centuries in the domestic cricket has made him a possible candidate to replace Jadeja in Team India's World Cup squad. The Chandigarh batsman lit up the ongoing season of the Ranji Trophy with three back-to-back centuries. Source : India Today Link to comment

BeautifulGame Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Jadeja to be picked for world cup. India allrounder*Ravindra Jadeja*is likely to find a place in the World Cup squad, although he has not yet recovered from a shoulder injury that ruled him out of the Tests against Australia. Sanjay Patel, the BCCI secretary had told reporters last month that Jadeja would need "three to four weeks" to recover from his shoulder injury and is unlikely to be fit for the start of the tri-series in Australia, which begins from January 16. Jadeja is currently undergoing rehabilitation at the new BCCI centre in Chennai and is being monitored by the board's physiotherapist, Nitin Patel. The national selectors will be provided with an update on Jadeja's fitness when they meet on January 6 to pick the squad for the tri-series against Australia and England, and the World Cup. The deadline for announcing the World Cup squad is January 7. If Jadeja's rehabilitation goes according to plan, he will be match-fit by around January 20 and could get a chance to prove his fitness during India's last two league games in the tri-series. If Jadeja fails to recover in time, the BCCI can get him replaced in the World Cup squad. According to the World Cup rules, a player can only be replaced on medical grounds. As a result, even if Jadeja does not recover in time for the World Cup after being picked in the squad, he can be replaced if the ICC medical committee is convinced, based on the fitness reports, that the injury will not heal in time for the tournament.

bowl_out Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 Hmm... Will they name Jadeja in the World Cup squad, but pick Yuvi for the Tri-series then? :hmmm: Link to comment
Old guy Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Yuvi never really did well in Australia even when he was really good player ..I am not sure about this l. Link to comment
BeautifulGame Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Yuvi never really did well in Australia even when he was really good player ..I am not sure about this l. Was very good in 03 Link to comment
Old guy Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Was very good in 03 Yeah I remember his hundred with laxman but he has failed every time since then and it's not like his bowling will work here .. Link to comment
kubrickian Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Deja Vu of 2014 World T20 ? :nervous: Dont they learn anything ? Yuvi struggles against short pitch stuff especially when there is extra pace and bounce like in Aus/NZ. Link to comment
Old guy Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I hope if he plays he plays as all rounder and not main batsman So I want his selection based on bowling form but I have no hope I said his before world t20 too but people were emotional back then .. Link to comment
Pagalpanti Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Please no! His fielding has been really below par. And his bowling wont be as effective. Link to comment
Austin 3:!6 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Great great news. People who saying "NO" does not understand cricket much. Yuvraj Singh is a big match player. He was struggling for form going into the 2011 WC as well. Then he goes on to become the MoS. Yes his T'20 WC struggle was one off and I think people must forgive that. Link to comment

SLICKR392 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Would be a thorn between in the line up. Hope not Link to comment
wanted_desi Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 He is not international material anymore, he will do good against domestic, but you add bit of class and he will not able to score. I wouldn't mind him trying for tri series, and he proves that he can still make runs easily, then yeah give a chance in WC. Link to comment
The Realist Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Move on FFS Why the fetish for recycling ageing has-beens? He was the sole reason why the T20 WC was lost to an average SL team with probably the WORST batting display seen in any cricket final. No f thanks Link to comment
Vijy Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Would prefer him not to be in the squd. However, if he maintains his current run of form, it may not be a bad idea. Link to comment

If there is one batsman I want to try out for the tri-series, it is Murali Vijay.... other than that, I will stick to the combination that has been working well for the last 12-15 months Link to comment

Not sure, what is your basis of your statement... Agree he is not a test material but here we are talking about one day side.... Everyone has to agree that he was not in the best of the form during the T20 world up and moreover he was recuperating/(ed) from life threatening disease. I would fault the selectors for selecting him so early after that operation..... Link to comment
