All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja was on Friday ruled out of the remaining two T20 Internationals against Australia after he suffered concussion during the first match of the series here, the BCCI said.
Right-arm pacer Shardul Thakur was named as Jadeja's replacement.
"He (Jadeja) will not take any further part in the ongoing T20I series. The All-India Senior Selection Committee has added Shardul Thakur to India’s T20I squad," the BCCI said in a statement.
The BCCI said Jadeja remains under observation and will be taken for further scans if required based on the assessment on Saturday morning.
"The diagnosis was confirmed based on a clinical assessment in the dressing room during the innings break by the BCCI Medical Team," it added.
