Hardik Pandya and Harshit Rana Face Injury Setbacks Ahead of New Zealand Tour
India's cricket team faces setbacks as Hardik Pandya and fast bowler Harshit Rana experience delays in their recoveries. Pandya developed discomfort in his right calf during training, requiring 6-8 weeks of rest, likely missing upcoming T20I and ODI series against New Zealand. Rana, recovering from low-grade strains in both thighs, has faced interruptions due to illness, making his participation in the New Zealand tour unlikely. Both players are expected to resume competitive cricket later, with Rana possibly returning in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.
