Ravindra Jadeja links with Saurashtra ahead of Ranji fixture and is probably expected to feature against Delhi.
Ravindra Jadeja links with his domestic side Saurashtra ahead of the upcoming Ranji round of games.
In an indication of his willingness to play in the forthcoming match for his state, the Indian all-rounder joined the Saurashtra team as they began training for their next Ranji Trophy assignment. On January 23, Saurashtra will play Delhi at Ground C, which is close to the Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot.
On Saturday, this publication stated that Jadeja would either confirm his availability or not on Sunday. Although the Saurashtra Cricket Association (SCA) officials have not yet confirmed whether he would play or not, it is believed that there is a good probability he will. In January 2023, Jadeja captained Saurashtra against Tamil Nadu in Chennai in his final Ranji match.
According to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), which has required all internationals to play domestic cricket unless otherwise advised or injured, the Jadeja growth is consistent with a large number of international players participating in domestic cricket.
Rohit Sharma made it known on Saturday that he would play in Mumbai’s next match against Jammu & Kashmir. Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, and Rishabh Pant have already declared their intention to participate in the upcoming domestic match. KL Rahul may play in Karnataka’s final league match against Haryana in Bengaluru starting on January 30, according to information obtained.
Ajit Agarkar defended the directive to the internationals to play domestic games and took pains to deny that it was a diktat cast in iron. “I think everyone should, when available. Sometimes, it’s difficult if you’re playing all three formats. You don’t get as much time. You’ll probably find most of the guys playing this round of Ranji Trophy. There’s been a little bit of time. And those who are available and fit, obviously, you expect people to play. I don’t think it’s a diktat,” the chief selector said.
