The 28-year-old off-spinner Jayant Yadav, who has played four Tests and only ODI for Indian cricket team, is suffering from a right side strain injury and will miss the remaining matches of the ongoing Quadrangular A series at Bengaluru.

The 31-year-old all-rounder Jalaj Saxena is going to replace Yadav in the India B squad for the remainder of the series.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has released a statement on that which was, “Jayant Yadav has been ruled out of the ongoing Quadrangular A Series. The all-rounder is suffering from a right side strain injury and will be undergoing rehab at NCA, Bengaluru. Jayant Yadav was part of the India B squad in the Quadrangular series.
