Vice captain Ajinkya Rahane will miss the Mumbai Test with a hamstring problem while Ravindra Jadeja (swollen right forearm) and Ishant Sharma (dislocated finger) were also ruled out of the second Test against New Zealand on Friday.
The BCCI confirmed the development in a press release ahead of the first day’s play which was delayed due to a wet outfield.
Here’s the full transcript of the release signed off by BCCI Secretary Jay Shah:
Fast bowler Ishant Sharma dislocated his left little finger during the final day of the 1st Test match in Kanpur. He is thus ruled out of the 2nd Test in Mumbai. The BCCI Medical team will continue to monitor his progress.
All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja suffered a right forearm injury during the 1st Test match in Kanpur. After undergoing scans, he was diagnosed with a swelling on his forearm. He has been advised rest and is thus ruled out of the 2nd Test in Mumbai.
Ajinkya Rahane sustained a minor left hamstring strain while fielding on the final day of the 1st Test match in Kanpur. Since he has not recovered completely, he has been ruled out of the 2nd Test in Mumbai. His progress will be closely monitored by the BCCI Medical team.
