Hardik Pandya Ruled Out of England ODI Series; Virat Kohli Awaits Fitness Test
India's all-rounder Hardik Pandya has been ruled out of the upcoming England ODI series due to a leg strain and ongoing fitness issues, including a back spasm sustained during IPL 2026. Pandya also missed the recent Afghanistan ODI series for similar reasons, prompting selectors to seek replacements. Meanwhile, Virat Kohli, sidelined with a hamstring injury from the IPL final, is set for a fitness test on June 26 to determine his availability. The England series begins with T20Is on July 1, followed by ODIs from July 14.
