• Jadeja ruled out of Asia Cup

    Published on

    India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja will miss the rest of the Asia Cup T20 tournament with a knee injury.

    Jadeja, a left-hander who bats in the middle-order and bowls spin, played a key role in India’s victories over Pakistan and Hong Kong to make the Super Four stage.

    Left-arm spinner Axar Patel will replace Jadeja in the squad ahead of Sunday’s clash against either Pakistan or Hong Kong.

    Jadeja made 35 and put on a key 52-run stand with Hardik Pandya as India chased down 148 with two balls to spare against Pakistan.

    He then returned figures of 1-15 while bowling in his side’s 40-run win over Hong Kong.

    The six-nation Asia Cup tournament, hosted by the UAE, is a warm-up for this year’s T20 World Cup in Australia starting next month.
