Sarandeep backs management on Harshit Rana injury management

Sarandeep Singh backed the Indian team management on Harshit Rana's injury setbacks, stating that players are not rushed back without BCCI Centre of Excellence fitness clearance. Rana has been ruled out of the three-match T20I series against Afghanistan and the Asian Games.

The pacer has suffered multiple injury setbacks in recent months. Team officials have maintained that medical protocols must be followed regardless of selection pressure.

Yash Thakur replaced Rana in the squad and had a lengthy bowl to skipper Shreyas Iyer during nets. The management continues to monitor Rana's rehabilitation timeline.
