Shortly after it was reported that the star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja was going to undergo knee surgery that would rule him out of the 2022 T20 World Cup, Team India head coach Rahul Dravid stated that he does not want to “jump to any conclusions” regarding Jadeja’s potential absence from the tournament. Dravid stated that he does not want to “jump to any conclusions” regarding Jadeja’s potential absence.
Due to a knee injury, Jadeja was not able to continue competing at the Asia Cup, which is now taking place in the United Arab Emirates. A source within the BCCI was quoted by the news agency PTI on Saturday as stating that Jadeja is scheduled to undergo knee surgery, which would keep him out of action for a “indefinite” length of time after the procedure.
Dravid, while speaking at a press conference prior to India’s Super-4 stage match against Pakistan in the Asia Cup, said that despite Jadeja’s injury, he did not want to rule him out of the T20 World Cup, which will begin in October in Australia. Dravid’s comments were made before India’s match against Pakistan in the Super-4 stage of the Asia Cup.
“Jadeja, he has damaged his knee. It is very clear that he will not be participating in the Asia Cup. He is currently being looked after by the medical staff, he has visited the physicians, he has visited the specialists, and he is currently receiving treatment “Dravid remarked.
“Because the World Cup is still quite a ways off, we don’t want to make any hasty judgments and either rule him out or rule him in just yet. We’ll see how it goes, “He continued on to remark that.
“It’s a normal element of the sport. People get hurt. It is a part of our responsibility to make an effort to manage them, to manage the way things are going, “he added.
“Both the extent of the damage and the rehabilitation process will be important factors to consider. We’ll see how it goes, “Dravid remarked.
“I don’t want to discount him or make too many comments until we have a lot clearer image and a better concept of what’s going on, so I won’t do either of those things. Specifically, we are currently six to seven weeks away from the World Cup “the head coach of India came to a conclusion.
Jadeja has participated in both of India’s matches so far at the Asia Cup. He was especially important in India’s frantic chase against Pakistan in the group stage match that took place a week ago.
