Ravindra Jadeja left out of the Champions Trophy squad
Ravindra Jadeja has been left out of the ODI squad for the tri-series in Sri Lanka and the Champions Trophy next month. Abhiskek Nayar, who plays for Mumbai Indians has replaced Ravindra Jadeja to secure a place in the ODI team.
One of the major reasons of this could be Ravindra Jadeja’s controversial performance in the 20-20 world cup.
Not surprisingly, Rahul Dravid makes a comeback into the ODI team after a span of nearly two years. Rahul Dravid is expected to play an important role in adding some stability to the middle order. Dinesh Karthik also retains his position in the squad.
The squad announced includes: Sachin Tendulkar, Gautam Gambhir, Rahul Dravid, Suresh Raina, Yuvraj Singh, MS Dhoni (capt/wk), Yusuf Pathan, Harbhajan Singh, Praveen Kumar, Ishant Sharma, Ashish Nehra, RP Singh, Amit Mishra, Dinesh Karthik, and Abhishek Nayar
