Kedar Jadhav has been declared fit and is all set to travel to England and Wales with the rest of the Indian squad for the upcoming 2019 World Cup. The middle-order batsman was doubtful for the World Cup after picking up a shoulder injury while playing for his Indian Premier League franchise Chennai Super Kings in their last game of the recently-concluded season.

However, Jadhav has been deemed fit and will board the flight for England with the rest of the team on May 22. As per a Times of India report, the 34-year-old, who was training and recovering under Team India physio Patrick Farhart, has been cleared after the physio submitted his report to the BCCI.

Farhart had to return from Australia earlier than scheduled after Jadhav's injury. He worked on his fitness closely after the batsman was ruled out of the knockout stages of the IPL. He cleared him after Jadhav passed a fitness test in Mumbai on Thursday. Jadhav is expected to play a key role for India at the World Cup as he provides stability to the middle-order.

Not just with the bat, but Jadhav has also been crucial for the team by providing cameos with the ball. He has been handy and provided major breakthroughs at crucial junctures to perfectly don the role of a wicket-taking spinner in the team. He has played 59 ODI matches for India amassing 1174 runs at an average of 43.48. He also has 27 wickets to his name in the format and his unpredictability with the ball will be a crucial factor for India as Virat Kohli eyes his maiden World Cup title as captain.

Team India will leave for England next week with their eyes set on the big prize. India will open their campaign against South Africa on June 4 at Rose Bowl in Southampton before taking on defending champions Australia on June 09.
