Harshit Rana Faces Multiple Injuries; Team Management Emphasizes Fitness Clearance
Indian cricketer Harshit Rana has faced multiple injuries in 2026, including a knee injury requiring surgery, a hamstring strain, and a recent rectus femoris strain during rehabilitation at the BCCI's Centre of Excellence (COE). Former cricketer Sarandeep Singh supports the team management's approach, emphasizing that players are only cleared to return after fitness approval from the COE. Rana's injuries have led to his exclusion from recent series, with Vidarbha pacer Yash Thakur named as his replacement.
