Hardik Pandya Ruled Out of India A Series and New Zealand Tour Due to Shin Injury

Analysed 26 Sept 2026·9 sources analysed·New Zealand·Sports
Hardik Pandya Ruled Out of India A Series and New Zealand Tour Due to Shin InjuryPreviousNext

Senior India all-rounder Hardik Pandya has sustained a fresh injury to his right shin, ruling him out of competitive cricket for at least three weeks. This setback excludes him from the upcoming India A one-day series against Australia A starting October 6 and the New Zealand white-ball tour beginning October 22. Pandya had been targeting a return on September 20, but recurring pain and scan results have delayed his rehabilitation. The BCCI medical panel will reassess him after the Asian Games, with his comeback now uncertain and possibly delayed until later domestic or international fixtures.
