Ravindra Jadeja had picked up a knee injury during the third ODI against England. Providing an update on Jadeja’s injury, captain Shikhar Dhawan said Jadeja would likely miss the game. “Right now, he has a bit of a niggle so we don’t know whether he will be ready or not for the first ODI,” said Dhawan at a pre-match press conference.
