Hardik Pandya ruled out of Afghanistan ODI series with quadriceps strain

Hardik Pandya has sustained a quadriceps strain during training at the BCCI Centre of Excellence. He is expected to miss the upcoming three-match ODI series against Afghanistan. Scans indicate at least a couple of weeks of recovery time.

India all-rounder Hardik Pandya has been ruled out of the series after sustaining a fresh quadriceps strain during fitness assessments. He requires three weeks for recovery. The series starts on June 13.

Hardik Pandya and Rohit Sharma had received medical clearance from the BCCI's Centre of Excellence ahead of the series. The fresh injury now keeps Pandya out of white-ball commitments for the immediate future.
