  XtraTime Web Desk: Great news for the Indian cricket team as all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has now no discomfort on his left shoulder and is available for the selection for Boxing Day Test against Australia at MCG, said BCCI in a release on Sunday. "Jadeja’s left shoulder has continued to improve and he is now available for the 3rd Test match of the series in Melbourne," the release said. Jadeja complained about the recurrence of his symptoms during the warm up match against the CA XI in Sydney, due to which he was not considered for the first two Tests of the series. "In the lead up to the Perth Test match on December 14, the management and the all-rounder were of the opinion that the intensity of his bowling in the nets could have been higher, to match the standards required for such an intensely fought series. For this reason, he was not considered for selection for the 2nd Test match," the release further added.
