Ishant, Jadeja available for selection: Dhoni

Sydney, Jan 25: India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni Sunday said Ishant Sharma (ankle injury )and Ravindra Jadeja (left shoulder impingement) are fit and available for selection for the ODI tri-series clash against Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) here Monday. However, Rohit Sharma is still recuperating from his sore hamstring and will continue to sit out. “Rohit is not fit for this game. Everybody else, including Ishant and Jadeja are available for selection,” Dhoni said. When India began their pre-match practice session Sunday, Ishant was one of the first to have a bat in the nets and Jadeja followed him soon. While confident that currently the two players have no threat to their participation in the World Cup, Dhoni said the smart management of players’ small niggles will be the key going into the big tournament. “We will have to decide whether we want to give them a few more net sessions before playing them or give them a game right away,” Dhoni said.
