The selectors are keeping a close eye on the injury to Kedar Jadhav and although they are willing to wait till the final possible hour before taking a call, there are reports emerging which suggest that one of Axar Patel or Ambati Rayudu could be possible replacements in India’s World Cup squad. (Complete coverage of ICC Cricket World Cup 2019)“The BCCI national selectors have been kept apprised of Jadhav’s recovery process on a day-to-day basis. A team can name its replacement till May 23, according to ICC rules. However, the Indian selectors refrained from taking a call on the replacement when they met to pick India A squad. Since Jadhav is a specialist batsman, the selectors are looking at replacing him with either Ambati Rayudu or Axar Patel, who like Jadhav can chip in with a few overs as well.
