Due to a knee injury, India’s all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja was forced to withdraw from the Asia Cup on Friday. Axar Patel will take his spot in the team.In India’s five-wicket victory over Pakistan on August 28, Jadeja’s important 35 runs off 29 balls played a significant role.
While the Saurashtra all-rounder was unable to bat against Hong Kong, he had respectable bowling numbers, allowing only 15 runs in four overs while also taking a wicket.
The All-India Senior Selection Committee has selected Axar Patel to replace Ravindra Jadeja in the current Asia Cup, according to a statement released by the BCCI.
