All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has been named as a replacement for the injured Gautam Gambhir for the upcoming ODI series against England.

Gambhir, who is suffering from concussion, is returning back to India. He had banged his head on the ground while falling back in attempting to catch Kevin Pietersen on the third day of the final Test at The Oval during England's first innings.

Gambhir hurt himself when he fell backwards and banged his head against the ground while fielding in the final Test against England at the Oval.

"Gautam has been advised to take rest and is expected to recover spontaneously without any further medical intervention. He will be returning to India shortly. Ravindra Jadeja has been chosen as his replacement," BCCI Secretary N Srinivasan said in a statement.
