Ravindra Jadeja is likely to announce retirement from Test cricket. Jadeja had suffered a forearm injury during the home series against New Zealand last month and had to sit out the final Test. Owing to the same issue, he is not part of the Test squad for the South Africa series either. While fans are expecting him to make a comeback soon, the all-rounder may not feature in Test matches anymore.
One of India's finest all-rounders, Jaddu, has featured in 57 Tests, scoring 2195 runs at an average of 33.76. He also has a hundred to his name. Jadeja has also bagged 232 wickets at an average of just under 25 and an economy of 2.41. Notably, he’s the fastest left-arm bowler to complete 200 wickets in Test cricket, achieving the feat in his 44th game in 2019.Meanwhile, India are scheduled to play three Tests in South Africa, starting from December 26 with the Boxing Day taking place at the Supersport Park in Centurion. Besides Jadeja, the likes of Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill and Axar Patel will also give the Test series a miss due to fitness issues.
