Hardik Pandya will miss out on the entirety of the India vs Australia series with injury. The star all-rounder had limped off the field in the Asia Cup 2025 match against Sri Lanka. Pandya subsequently missed the final win against Pakistan, and now has to watch from the sidelines during the IND vs AUS ODIs and T20Is.
Hardik Pandya to continue rehabilitation at CoE
Hardik Pandya played no part in the India vs Pakistan clash in the Asia Cup final. He was ruled out of action with a injury which has also ruled him out of contention for the India tour of Australia. Pandya not only has missed out on the ODI squad, he will also miss the 5 T20I games that follow. Nitish Kumar Reddy has been named his replacement.
Chief selector Ajit Agarkar confirmed that Pandya will now report to the CoE to access his situation. BCC expects the 31-year-old to report next week in Bengaluru and continue his return to full fitness. Pandya will have company from Rishabh Pant, who continues to nurse a foot injury.
