Hardik Pandya’s explosive comeback!

The biggest news is the return of star all-rounder Hardik Pandya. Since the Asia Cup, Hardik was staying away from international cricket due to injury. But now he has been declared fit. He recently performed brilliantly in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, which has proved both his fitness and form.

Suspense on Shubman Gill’s availability

There is still no complete clarity regarding the availability of vice-captain Shubhman Gill. Regarding Gill, who is recovering from a neck injury, media reports have claimed that he has got approval to play from the CoE and he will join the team as vice-captain. However, the final decision on whether he will play in the initial matches of the series or later will be taken after his fitness assessment. If Gill remains out, then Yashasvi Jaiswal may get a chance.
