BCCI officials are apparently very angry with Rahul Dravid, and Rohit Sharma over th injury. Head coach Dravid said that let's not jump the again with Jadeja getting ruled out of the T20 World Cup as there is still some time left for the tournament. However, BCCI sources say that Jadeja is not expected to go to Australia to take part in the all-important World Cup. 

After Jadeja got injured during the Asia Cup, India's campaign got derailed with two back-to-back losses vs Pakistan and Sri Lanka that eventually got Rohit Sharma's side out of the tournament.
