Hardik Pandya rested for Test series
The All-India Senior Selection Committee in consultation with the Indian team management has decided to rest all-rounder Hardik Pandya for the upcoming three-Test series against Sri Lanka.
Mumbai: The All-India Senior Selection Committee in consultation with the Indian team management has decided to rest all-rounder Hardik Pandya for the upcoming three-Test series against Sri Lanka.
Pandya was named in the squad for the first two Tests. "Considering Mr Pandya’s heavy recent workload, the decision was made to negate any possibility of a major injury concern," BCCI's acting secretary Amitabh Choudhary said in a media release on Friday.
Pandya will undergo a period of strength at conditioning at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru, it further added. However, the selectors didn't name any replacement to take Pandya's place in the squad, which was reduced to 15 members.
Test squad for first two Tests: Virat Kohli (captain), Ajinkya Rahane (vice-captain), KL Rahul, Murali Vijay, Shikhar Dhawan, Cheteshwar Pujara, Rohit Sharma, Wriddhiman Saha (w/k), Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Shami, Umesh Yadav, Bhuvaneshwar Kumar, Ishant Sharma.
