Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli were expectedly included in India’s ODI squad for Australia. But another senior player wasn’t. Someone who’s played 50-over cricket for India since 2009, Ravindra Jadeja. The all-rounder is one of the greatest-ever all-format players for India, but was left out.
Jadeja dropped from India’s ODI team
The decision to drop Jadeja and replace Rohit as India’s ODI captain has significant implications. It suggests that neither is confirmed for the 2027 ODI World Cup. Chairman of Selectors Ajit Agarkar was asked about Jadeja’s exclusion and stated that the selectors prefer Axar Patel over Jadeja at the moment. One has to wonder how that’ll change in 2027 when the all-rounder will be 38.
“Right now, we could only take one left-arm spinner (Axar Patel) for the Australia series. It wasn’t possible to fit in two. Ravindra Jadeja is absolutely in our plans—everyone knows how good he is and what he offers as an all-rounder and a fielder. But for this short series, we wanted to maintain balance with Washington Sundar and Kuldeep Yadav in the squad,” Agarkar had said.
‘Captain Shubman Gill spoke with me’ – Jadeja
The squad was announced minutes after Jadeja was named ‘player of the match’ for his all-round performance in the India vs West Indies 1st Test. That’s why we didn’t hear anything from him. But now, Jadeja has spoken on the matter.
He made it clear that winning the 2027 ODI World Cup is one of his goals. But the selectors don’t view him in the scheme of things. Jadeja revealed that the selectors and India’s new ODI captain, Shubman Gill, have explained their reasoning behind his exclusion from the team.
“I want to play the 2027 ODI World Cup, obviously. It’s always a selection call. The good thing is that the selectors and the captain spoke with me and explained, and I understand the reasons. Everyone’s dream is to win the ODI World Cup,” Jadeja told reporters after the end of the second day’s plan in Delhi.
