Hyderabad/Visakhapatnam: Star India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja and batter KL Rahul have been ruled out of the second Test against England, which will be played in Visakhapatnam, starting February 2, the BCCI said on Monday.

"The BCCI Medical Team is monitoring the progress of the duo," the statement said.
