Injured Hardik Set to Miss ODIs Against Afghanistan

Image
India have suffered a major setback ahead of the upcoming ODI series against Afghanistan, with all-rounder Hardik Pandya set to miss the three-match contest after sustaining a leg injury during training at the BCCI Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru. Reports indicate that the injury is a low-grade quadriceps sprain, requiring a short recovery period and ruling him out of immediate action. Hardik had recently completed fitness assessments and was expected to rejoin the national squad, but the fresh injury setback means he will remain under the supervision of the BCCI medical team. His absence leaves India without one of their most experienced pace-bowling all-rounders as they prepare for the ODI series beginning this week. The Indian team management is yet to announce an official replacement. With Virat Kohli already ruled out through injury, Hardik's absence further complicates India's plans ahead of the Afghanistan series and the subsequent tour of England.
