The Indian cricket team has been plagued by injuries. Today, one player is injured; tomorrow, another player suffers an injury. Hardik Pandya, who had recently returned to form after recovering from an injury, faced another setback during the World Cup.
He had to withdraw from the One World Cup and subsequently missed the Twenty20 series against Australia, as well as the tour of South Africa, among other events. His comeback is eagerly awaited by everyone.
During the World Cup match against Bangladesh, Hardik had to exit the tournament due to a sprained leg.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the National Cricket Academy (NCA) have designed a special 18-week high-performance program for Hardik, focusing on long-term goals.
Hardik’s importance to the team is underscored, considering the upcoming Twenty20 World Cup and the 2026 World Cup. Hence, there won’t be a rush to include him in bilateral series; the emphasis is on his fitness and preparedness.
