Ex-Batter Urges India to Move On from Jadeja in Tests
A former India cricket player, Deep Dasgupta, thinks the Indian team should stop playing Ravindra Jadeja in Test matches.
He says Jadeja, who is 37 years old, is not as good as he used to be, especially in their recent games in Sri Lanka.
Dasgupta thinks Jadeja didn't help the team enough on the last day of the second Test.
He also mentioned that other spinners, except for a young player named Manav Suthar, didn't perform well either.
Dasgupta suggests that Washington Sundar could take Jadeja's place.
Jadeja has been a very successful player, but Dasgupta believes it's time for new players to step up.
Former India wicket-keeper Deep Dasgupta suggests moving on from Ravindra Jadeja in Test cricket.
