The Men in Blue will next face reigning champions, England at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on October 29 but with injury looming in their campaign, the team is likely to go with the same XI. However, Hardik Pandya’s injury hasn’t hindered the team much as all players have been doing their part with excellence, he is likely to miss the next two matches of the game.
While the fast bowling all-rounder is recovering from the ankle injury, he remains to be out for the next few games of the side. Hardik injured his ankle while attempting to stop a shot from Litton Das with his foot during India’s match against Bangladesh. With scans done, Pandya is reportedly recovering at the NCA in Bengaluru.
According to an Indian Express report, Pandya will be available for the last two league matches against South Africa (November 5), and Netherlands (November 12) as the medical team will wait for a few more days. However, an official announcement on the same is still awaited.
