As per Times of India, a BCCI source said that the selectors might think of moving on from Jadeja when they decide to enforce transition. The source claimed that Gambhir had always been assertive about creating a core team for all formats and that he had a clear vision for ODI World Cup 2024. The source added that it was upto the selectors if they wanted to go ahead with the “safe option” Jadeja or move on.
“It’s all about when the selectors decide the transition needs to kick in. They will discuss if they want to go with a safe option in Jadeja or move on right now,” the source added. Even in Test cricket, he has struggled to get going, though his bowling has been steady. There is an urge to move on from him, especially in the ODI format. It will be a tough call in the coming days.” the source said
