Hardik Pandya Likely To Miss IND vs ENG Clash As Precautionary Measure

The availability of Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya for the ICC World Cup 2023 match against England is in jeopardy. As a precautionary measure, the right-hander is expected to miss the match, according to reports in CricketNext News18. 

The BCCI official stated that it is improbable that team management will hurry him into the lineup against England; rather, he will be set up as a precaution. Additionally, he disclosed that the injury was not severe. He elaborated to CricketNext as follows:

"It is probable that Hardik will miss the upcoming match against England in Lucknow." "At this time, it is merely a precaution and not a matter of grave concern." 

During the match against Bangladesh in Pune, Hardik Pandya sustained an injury and was forced to leave the field in excruciating agony. After twisting his ankle during the follow-through, he was unable to return to the field for the remainder of that contest.

Hardik Pandya was subsequently excluded from the match against New Zealand. His destination was not Dharamsala. Previously, it was believed that the all-rounder would be ready to face England; however, recent reports indicate otherwise. 

Hardik Pandya has been instrumental in the outcome of the World Cup for the team. His primary responsibility has been bowling, which he has aced. His presence will be vital for the team entering the tournament, as he has consistently demonstrated his value in decisive contests. 

Suryakumar Yadav will continue in absense of Hardik

Suryakumar Yadav was given the starting lineup approval over Hardik Pandya in anticipation of the match against New Zealand. The batter was dismissed for two runs. However, given that the all-rounder is likely to miss the following match, Suryakumar is anticipated to start in place of England. 

India will probably maintain their current lineup in their match against England. They are competing in the ICC World Cup 2023 in red-hot form. They have secured victories in all five of their tournament matches. The matchup between them and the defending champions is scheduled for Sunday, October 29th.
