India’s all-rounder Hardik Pandya is ruled out of the upcoming ODI series against Afghanistan after sustaining a leg injury during training at the BCCI Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru. Multiple reports say the injury is a low-grade sprain/strain involving the quadriceps (described as a leg or quadricep sprain) and that scans confirm it will require a recovery period of at least two weeks. As a result, Hardik remains in Bengaluru for rehabilitation under the supervision of the team’s medical staff and does not join the squad as planned. ESPN Cricinfo reports that Rohit Sharma is included in the squad in Hardik’s absence. One report also notes that selectors are reviewing the fitness of other players, including Virat Kohli, as squad selection approaches. Outlook for Hardik’s return is linked to continued rehab at the Centre of Excellence, with one account suggesting a possible comeback before India’s England ODI series. The immediate impact is his absence from the Afghanistan ODIs, with recovery and medical clearance determining his availability for later fixtures.
