Hardik ruled out of Afghanistan ODIs

All-rounder Hardik Pandya has been ruled out of the three-match ODI series against Afghanistan after sustaining a fresh quadriceps strain. Get the latest updates on his injury recovery and the Indian squad's status ahead of the series.
Mullanpur: Cleared to play just hours ago, India all-rounder Hardik Pandya was on Wednesday ruled out of the three-match ODI series against
Afghanistan after picking up a fresh quadriceps strain. Pandya was at the BCCI’s Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru to get clearance for his back spasm injury which he sustained in the IPL while playing for the Mumbai Indians. It is learnt that the new injury could be a result of him bowling the full quota of 10 overs at the CoE during the assessment.
The ODI series against Afghanistan begins on Saturday at Dharamsala followed by games in Lucknow and Chennai on June 17 and 20 respectively. “With three weeks for recovery, there is absolutely no chance of him playing the ODI series as his rehabilitation will not be complete,” said a BCCI source.
