Allrounder Ravindra Jadeja is set to make himself available for Ranji Trophy matches, playing for Saurashtra against Delhi. Meanwhile, Bengal opener Abhimanyu Easwaran is out for three weeks due to a finger injury.

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.

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.
