Ravindra Jadeja to undergo knee surgery, will miss T20 World Cup

In what will be a major blow for Team India, all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja in all likelihood will miss the T20 World Cup due to his knee injury.

According to a PTI report, Jadeja will have to undergo a major knee surgery that will keep him out of action for a much longer period than what was expected earlier.

The BCCI is still awaiting confirmation whether it’s a case of Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL). An ACL issue would mean Jadeja won’t be available for the rest of 2022 at least, if not longer.

The report also states the BCCI doesn’t want to put a timeline on Jadeja's return before he is assessed by the medical team at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru.

The all-rounder has already been replaced by Axar Patel in the Asia Cup squad but his unavailability for the T20 World Cup will be a big, big loss for Team India.
