IND vs SL: Ravindra Jadeja set for India return, Virat Kohli likely to skip the T20 series

Ravindra Jadeja, who has been out since the 2nd Test vs New Zealand in late November, is all set to make a return to Team India. The all-rounder was in rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru and is now almost certain to be included in the 2-match Test series vs Sri Lanka.

According to a report in Cricbuzz, if all goes well, Jadeja is likely to play the 3-match T20 series as well which is scheduled before the 2 Tests. The report added that he is already quarantining in Lucknow, which is the venue for the 1st T20 vs Sri Lanka on February 24. Apart from him, Jasprit Bumrah, who was rested for the ODI and T20 series vs the West Indies, will also return.

Cricbuzz also reported that Virat Kohli might be rested for the T20I series. However, the former skipper will return for the Tests, which means his 100th Test could be in Mohali.
