Hardik Pandya Ruled Out of England ODIs; Virat Kohli's Fitness Test Scheduled
India's all-rounder Hardik Pandya has been ruled out of the upcoming England ODI series due to recurring injuries, including a back spasm and a quadriceps strain sustained during IPL 2026 and rehabilitation. Despite recent efforts to regain full bowling fitness, he has not met the required standards. Meanwhile, Virat Kohli remains sidelined with a hamstring injury and is scheduled for a fitness test in late June. The Indian selectors are expected to announce replacements and finalize squads ahead of the series starting in early July.
