Manish Pandey, 37, included in Karnataka's Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy probables
The 37-year-old was dropped from Karnataka squads in December 2024 and now returns for the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.
Manish Pandey has been included in Karnataka's probables for the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy at the age of 37. Pandey was dropped from the Karnataka squad across all formats in December 2024.
The batter has played nine IPL matches for Kolkata Knight Riders across the 2025 and 2026 seasons. His recall comes ahead of the domestic T20 tournament that begins later this month.
Karnataka's probables list signals a possible return for the experienced middle-order batter in the shorter format.
CricHubb Take
Pandey's inclusion suggests Karnataka are prioritising experience in the middle order for a T20 tournament where they have struggled to convert strong squads into titles in recent years.
