New Delhi: All rounder Ravindra Jadeja has been named as a replacement for an injured Gautam Gambhir for the upcoming ODI series against England.
Gambhir, who is suffering from concussion, is returning back to India. He had banged his head on the ground while falling back in attempting to catch Kevin Pietersen on the third day of the final Test at The Oval during England's first innings.
Gambhir had immediately left the field, and dropped down the batting order in both innings. He was struggling from the injury and failed to make an impact, scoring 10 and 3 runs as India lost by an innings and eight runs. Gambhir's recovery took a further hit when Stuart Broad's bouncer on the final day hit him flush on back of the helmet.
Gautam has been advised to take rest and is expected to recover spontaneously without any further medical intervention. He will be returning to India shortly.
Though Gambhir travelled with the team for the three warm-up matches, he did not play any as he complained of blurred vision.
