During the first ODI between India and England on Friday, at Queen’s Park Oval, Ravindra Jadeja didn’t take to the field. Earlier, during the toss, Shikhar Dhawan confirmed that it was an injury issue. Shortly after BCCI tweeted and informed that the all-rounder had been ruled out of the first and second ODI of the series.
