Hardik Pandya was included in the Indian team for the first time on September 30th, 2019.
In a surprising move, Hardik Pandya was not included in India’s squad for the upcoming Test series against Australia. The 26-year-old was part of India’s World Cup winning squad earlier this year and has been in fine form ever since. He scored his maiden Test century against England at Lord’s and became only the second Indian to score a fifty and take five wickets on debut. However, he hasn’t played any cricket since August 29th, when he made just one run against England at Headingley.
Pandya had been rested for India’s limited overs tour of Australia earlier this year but had been expected to be included in their Test squad for the first time. However, selectors have opted to give him more time off before calling him up again later in the year.
