"India must have reliable backup for Pandya by time ODI WC arrives": Raina
Jun 11, 2026
Pandya is missing from the ODIs against Afghanistan and also finds himself out of the T20I squads for the Ireland tour, England tour, and the Asian Games to be held much later in September due to injury. While training at the BCCI's Centre of Excellence, Hardik suffered a leg strain, which came after the back spasms that caused him to miss four of the Mumbai Indians' (MI) 14 games in the IPL.
