Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja is happy to be back with the national team after recovering from injury and looks forward to playing against Sri Lanka in the upcoming T20I and Test series. Jadeja has been in rehabilitation after suffering injuries in the November 2021 friendly against New Zealand in Kanpur.
After missing the Test and ODI series in South Africa and the home limited surplus competition against West Indies, Jadeja returned to the Indian limited surpluses after recovering from the injury that kept him on the sidelines.
