However, one of the major setbacks for Ajinkya Rahane is her injury. According to Cricbuzz, the experienced batsman has been ruled out of the IPL 2022 and England tour due to a Grade III hamstring injury. But Cheteshwar Pujara is ready to return after being impressed by the county championship in England.
“Pujara was never out of our plan. He had to get his form back and I think he did it. Although his century came in the second division of the county, it is never easy to face the seamers in English conditions. However, whether he will be selected in the XI or not depends on the team management. A member of the selection committee told InsideSport.
