Jadeja will play the January 6 and 8 matches for Saurashtra against Services and Gujarat.
The Karnataka State Cricket Association could not immediately confirm which games Rahul will play, but there is a likelihood of him turning up for the January 3 and 6 matches, against Tripura and Rajasthan in Ahmedabad.
Meanwhile, the Mumbai Cricket Association has confirmed that Yashasvi Jaiswal has reached Jaipur and is expected to play Mumbai's game against Goa on Wednesday (December 31). Jaiswal was indisposed briefly and had to miss the first three games.
From Rohit Sharma to Virat Kohli to Rishabh Pant, most internationals have turned up for the Vijay Hazare Trophy to fulfill their domestic duties, a participation the BCCI has made mandatory.
Kohli, who has played two games, will return for the January 6 match for Delhi, which is being captained by Pant. The keeper-batter has committed to playing all the VHT games for Delhi.
