Ravindra Jadeja unlikely to get fit for Bangladesh tour: reports

Ravindra Jadeja is unlikely to regain full fitness ahead of India's tour to Bangladesh, starting December 14 in Chittagong.

A BCCI source told PTI that 'Jadeja has been to NCA for his check-up and rehab on a number of occasions. However as of now, it is unlikely that he will be fit for the Bangladesh series. In any case, Chetan Sharma-led former selection committee had kept him in the squad subject to fitness.'

Since Ravichandran Ashwin, Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav are already in the squad, there are speculations that the Indian team management, in case new selection committee is not formed by then, could utilise Surya's red-hot form and hand him a maiden India Test call-up.

After the T20 and ODI series in New Zealand, Team India will play 3 ODIs and 2 Tests in Bangladesh in December.
