Ravindra Jadeja down with 'viral illness'

CAPE TOWN:- India left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja could be a doubtful starter for the first Test against South Africa, which begins Friday in Cape Town. Jadeja has been suffering from ‘viral illness’ for the last two days, according to a BCCI release. He will be taken to hospital for treatment, and is expected to recover fully in the next 48 hours, which means the team management will probably only be able to decide on his availability on the morning of the match. Shikhar Dhawan, meanwhile, has recovered from a minor ankle injury and is available for selection.–Agencies
