After Karun Nair and Murali Vijay being the centre of discussion, it was now time for Kedar Jadhav to share the limelight for almost similar reason. The 33-year-old cricketer was surprised after not getting picked by the selectors for the last three ODIs against the West Indies, as he was not only playing in the Deodhar Trophy but also had cleared all the fitness tests at the time when the squad was announced.
However, MSK Prasad, giving some clarifications over the matter had earlier said that Jadhav was a little prone to getting injured and the selectors wanted him to play some more cricket before he make a comeback to the national team.
Kedar, was surprised by the decision of him not getting picked up for the Indian squad and expressed his views publicly saying," Rehabilitation was good. Everything’s fine as of now. I cleared all the fitness tests; I was cleared match fit, which is why I was playing here. I didn’t know. Obviously, I have to see why they have not picked me.”
However, MSK Prasad, a day after giving his statement included Jadhav in the ODI team for the last two matches against Windies which left everyone confused.
Here’s how fans on Twitter reacted to Jadhav’s inclusion:
