Former India cricketer Robin Uthappa has urged all-rounder Hardik Pandya to consider returning to Test cricket. Uthappa suggested that Pandya could fill the No. 7 spot, noting that current pace all-rounders like Nitish Kumar Reddy do not bowl extensively. Uthappa believes the BCCI would support Pandya if he proves his fitness and desires to compete for the World Test Championship, a format Pandya last played in 2018 due to injury.
