Recovering from an ankle injury, star India all-rounder Hardik Pandya is unlikely to play before the team’s November 12 World Cup match against the Netherlands. On October 19, Pandya suffered a left ankle injury while fielding his own bowls during the match against Bangladesh in Pune.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to missing the matches against South Africa on November 5 and Sri Lanka on Thursday, he also missed the matches against New Zealand and England. On November 12, India plays the Netherlands in Bengaluru in their league finale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A BCCI official said, it’s just a small rip. He is making a good recovery, so he should be back for the last league match. It’s also possible that he plays in the semifinal right immediately after the recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
India are headed to the semifinals after winning six matches in a row.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The squad was forced to alter the palying 11 twice in order to account for Pandya’s all-around skills. Suryakumar Yadav is batting at number six in place of him, hence the management chooses to play in the rest of the matches with fifive bowlers instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The management hasn’t missed Pandya the bowler because of Mohammad Shami’s outstanding play, but he’s still vital to the team’s stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following the win over England, bowling coach Paras Mhambrey gave his assurance that Pandya would soon return. Pandya was recuperating at Bengaluru’s National Cricket Academy (NCA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The medical staff is considering that and keeping in close contact with both Hardik and the National Cricket Academy. In a few days, we hope to receive an update, Mhambrey had stated on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pandya was expected to report to the team in Lucknow before of the England match, but he was not present, according to a BCCI media statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, the Rohit Sharma-lead team has reached Mumbai to play their next match tomorrow with Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
