Team India has received a major blow ahead of the IND vs ENG 2nd Test, starting on February 2 in Visakhapatnam. In addition to Ravindra Jadeja, India’s star batter KL Rahul has also been ruled out of the second Test due to a right quadriceps injury.
“Jadeja sustained a hamstring injury during play on Day 4 of the first Test in Hyderabad while Rahul complained of a right quadriceps pain”, BCCI said in a statement.
The selectors have added Sarfaraz Khan, Sourabh Kumar and Washington Sundar to India’s squad.
The news comes as a setback for India, who currently trail 0-1 in the 5-match Test series after an embarrassing defeat in Hyderabad.
