Jadeja picked up five wickets in the first Test against England in Hyderabad, scoring 87 and 2 in the two innings. He was run out in the second innings after a direct throw from Ben Stokes and was seen clutching his hamstring soon after as he walked back to the pavilion.
As questions remained over the participation of Jadeja in the remainder of the series, the BCCI announced he would be unfit to play the second Test in Visakhapatnam from February 2. Jadeja was one of two India players to be ruled out of the game, with KL Rahul missing out due to injury as well.
India have named Washington Sundar, Sourabh Kumar and Sarfaraz Khan as replacements.
