25 Oct India all-rounder Hardik Pandya likely to miss ICC Cricket World Cup game against England
India star all-rounder Hardik Pandya is set to miss the upcoming ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 encounter against England on Sunday (October 29) in Lucknow.
It’s unfortunate to hear that Hardik Pandya, the limited-overs vice-captain of the Indian Cricket Team, is missing a game at the Ekana Stadium due to an ankle injury. Injuries are a common concern in sports, and it’s essential to prioritize the health and well-being of the players. The team management’s decision to be cautious and not rush Pandya back into the game is a wise one.
Pandya’s ankle injury appears to have occurred during a match against Bangladesh, where he had to leave the field after bowling just three deliveries. In such cases, diagnostic scans and medical evaluations are standard procedures to assess the extent of the injury and plan an appropriate recovery regimen.
The decision to sit out subsequent games, like the one against New Zealand in Dharamshala, is a precautionary measure to allow for proper healing and to prevent exacerbating the injury.
Cricket fans and the team will undoubtedly be looking forward to Pandya’s return when he is fully recovered and can continue contributing to the team’s success with his all-round abilities.
However, on a relieving note, insiders from the cricket board believe that Pandya’s injury is not a critical concern and no haste would be made to bring him back to action, even if he regains complete fitness shortly.
Even with Pandya’s absence in the upcoming match against England, the undefeated Indian team hopes to maintain the winning combination.
