Breaking: Hardik Pandya to miss two more games due to injury; likely to be fit for last two league games from November 5

 

India will continue to miss the services of Hardik Pandya as it’s now learnt that the Indian all-rounder will only be available for the last two World Cup league games against South Africa, on November 5, and Netherlands. Pandya is unlikely to join the team ahead of the game against England in Lucknow.

The Indian Express understands that Pandya hasn’t begun to bowl after he had injured his ankle during India vs Bangladesh game held in Pune last week. The medical team will wait for a few more days to let him recover at the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore. He is expected to join the Indian team in Mumbai or Kolkata.

The Indian team management doesn’t want to rush him and are hoping he will be completely fit for the last two games. With the Indian team on a winning streak in this World Cup, the team management wants a completely fit Pandya for the semis.

Pandya had missed the game against New Zealand in Dharamsala on October 22 and was rushed to National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru to be treated by a specialist doctor from England with the required injections. Pandya was initially expected to join the Indian team in Lucknow but that assessment has changed now.

The medium pacer had limped off during bowling after putting his right foot to stop a drive from Bangladesh’s Liton Das. Play was stopped for nearly five minutes as the physio strapped his ankle. A vital cog in the wheel, Pandya’s skill set at the highest level – effective with difficult-to-pick-up bouncers, the surprise heavy ball and ability to clear the ropes – makes him vital to the playing XI’s balance.

Mohammed Shami held the ball for the first time at this Cricket World Cup, scampered in from over the stumps, and then let go of a length ball with that picture perfect seam bolt upright. It would come into Will Young, who dragged it onto his stumps and pop. 10 Indian shirts converged in jubilation towards the middle of the 22-yard strip at the HPCA Stadium while one just raised his finger up. For Shami, who was benched for the previous four India games in the tournament, business looked as usual. It raised a pertinent question. Where was he all this time? Why didn’t the Indian management look at him as a first choice bowler from the very first game of the World Cup? Shardul Thakur has been entrusted in place of the most-experienced new ball bowler in India’s World Cup squad to add an extra batting option. While his batting prowess is yet to be put under test at the marquee event, it’s the medium pacer’s returns with
