Former BCCI selector Saba Karim talked about Ravindra Jadeja and his recovery. Ravindra Jadeja was ruled out of Asia Cup after a bad injury during the practice session. He had a successful surgery and posted a picture of him in the hospital. He wrote the caption, “ The surgery was successful. There are many people to thank for their support and involvement- BCCI, my teammates, support staff, physios, doctors, and the fans. I will start my rehab soon and try to get back to cricket soon as I can. Thank you to everyone for your kind wishes.”
“It’s a tough phase for him because whenever he comes back, he has always done well and for him to get injured at such a critical juncture in his career is not so easy. But one has to give him credit to Jadeja that whenever he has come back from injury, even though he doesn’t get too much game time, but immediately he gets into his rhythm and that is not easy. But he’s naturally such a gifted player that it’s so easy for him to come back. I remember I think some years ago, he was not even trained the way the other cricketers were trained. But because he has been naturally so talented and so gifted and so fit, it’s easy for him to come back.” Saba Karim stated on Sports18.
Saba Karim talked about how age will be a factor in Jadeja’s performance. “But I think with age, it may not be easy for him to do that. So I think he needs to go back and work on his rehab and then try and come back. But more importantly, I feel that it’s your mindset, the kind of preparation you do before you come back on the field after your injury.”
Indian Head Coach Rahul Dravid stated that Jadeja was ruled out of Asia Cup 2022. He stated, “Jadeja has injured his knee; he is obviously ruled out of Asia Cup. He is under the care of the medical team, he is going to see the doctors, see the experts. The World Cup is still a fair bit away, and we don’t want to jump to any conclusions and rule him out or rule him in. We’ll see how it goes.”
