There was a huge debate on the 2 all-rounders’ slots of the Indian squad for the upcoming grand event hosted by England and Wales. However, the selectors picked 3 all-rounders in the team. Along with Hardik Pandya and Vijay Shankar, Ravindra Jadeja got the place in the side as the 3rd all-rounder.

Jadeja has performed well on English pitches but given that the team already has Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal, it is unlikely that Jaddu will make it to the playing XI in the initial matches.
