This website reported on Saturday that Jadeja will confirm his availability or otherwise on Sunday. Jadeja last played a Ranji game in January 2023 when he led Saurashtra against Tamil Nadu in Chennai. That game, in fact, was a test game for his match fitness as he was returning after a knee injury, before the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2023.

Star Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has joined Saurashtra's training camp for the second leg of the 2024/25 Ranji Trophy. The all-rounder is likely to play the upcoming match against Rishabh Pant's Delhi on January 23.

" Varun Chakaravarthy is picking up wickets one after the other. He has done well in the Vijay Hazare Trophy also. He took a five-wicket haul against Rajasthan and has been continuously doing well. Since he has returned to the Indian T20I team, he has been picking up wickets every single time," Chopra said in a video on his YouTube channel.

With notable India regulars looking to return to the Ranji Trophy amid BCCI's fresh mandate to prioritise domestic cricket in a bid to push for national team selection, the scheduled start to the second half of the 2024/25 red-ball tournament threw the possibility of Ravindra Jadeja going up against Rishabh Pant after the India all-rounder reportedly joined the Saurashtra camp on Sunday.
