Ravindra Jadeja’s name is not in the team selected for the three-match ODI series, seeing which the fans were a bit surprised. Since then, there has been a constant debate about why Jadeja has not been selected in the team. He has been an important part of India’s ODI team for more than 10 years. Now some important reports are coming out about Ravindra Jadeja. The new management under the captaincy of head coach Gautam Gambhir is looking for a future replacement for the spin all-rounder keeping in mind the upcoming Champions Trophy. Jadeja is not in BCCI’s plans for ODI cricket. The Men in Blue will play only six ODIs before the Champions Trophy and the goal is to use these six matches to give match time to Akshar and Sundar. BCCI is looking for a replacement for Ravindra Jadeja One of the sources close to the developments told Hindustan Times that there is nothing wrong with Jadeja’s performance but the management wants to build a team for the future. A BCCI source told Hindustan Times, “India have only six ODIs to play before the Champions Trophy next year, including three in Sri Lanka. The selectors want to use Axar Patel and Washington Sundar in all the matches by giving them more chances.” He further said, “There is nothing wrong with Jadeja’s performance. The management wants to consider other options because we have to build a team for the future.” Axar was part of India’s squad in the ODI World Cup 2023 but was ruled out due to an injury ahead of the tournament. Since then, he has done a commendable job in the shortest format of the game and was a key player for the Rohit Sharma-led side in the T20 World Cup 2024. Axar has played 57 ODIs so far in which he has taken 60 wickets and scored 489 runs. When it comes to Washington, he is expected to get opportunities in white-ball cricket. He performed well in the recent Zimbabwe series and is expected to continue the same momentum.

Virat Kohli can be seen playing in the ODI series According to a report in The Indian Express, Virat Kohli has made himself available to play the T20 series and has confirmed the same to the Board of Control for Cricket in India. This was after reports that Gautam Gambhir had asked the seniors to make themselves available for the series. Senior players like Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav are going to return for the Sri Lanka tour.

The Men in Blue will tour Sri Lanka to take part in three T20Is followed by three ODIs is all set to do so. The ODI series will be extremely important for India as it will mark the start of their preparations for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 to be held in Pakistan in February. This is India’s last ODI series before the tournament. Meanwhile, there were reports that Rohit Sharma would be rested from this series after winning the T20 World Cup 2024. But now such reports are coming out that Rohit Sharma can be seen captaining in the ODI series. Team India’s new head coach Gautam Gambhir has made it clear that every player will have to be available for all three formats. It has also been clearly stated in the report that the board has not put any pressure on these players to play. However, there have been some indications from Rohit Sharma that he may make himself available for the three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka in August. Considering that Team India has very few ODI matches to prepare before the Champions Trophy to be held in February-March 2025. Rohit Sharma can play in the ODI series against Sri Lanka According to the Cricbuzz report, this is the reason why Rohit Sharma can be seen in these three ODIs. He is currently enjoying his holidays in the US. It is expected that he will inform the BCCI about his availability soon, possibly he will send his reply to the board before the online meeting on Wednesday. If Rohit Sharma decides to play in the ODI series, he will undoubtedly lead the team. However, players like Jasprit Bumrah and Virat Kohli have been rested for the Sri Lanka series and their chances of joining the team are low. If Rohit Sharma does not play in this series, then KL Rahul can captain the ODI series. Apart from this, Shreyas Iyer can also return to the ODI team.
