Hardik Pandya was ruled out of the 2023 World Cup after he had to leave the pitch in pain during India’s 2023 ODI World Cup clash against Bangladesh.
In his very first over with the ball, Pandya twisted his ankle while trying to stop a boundary by Liton Das, which forced him to the sidelines for an indefinite period.

He had bowled just three deliveries before going down on the ground in excruciating pain. Pandya was initially treated on the ground before he limped off to the pavilion.
Another star Indian batter Virat Kohli took it upon himself to complete the remainder of the ninth over which Pandya left halfway.
What is Hardik Pandya’s injury status?
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the National Cricket Academy (NCA) have adopted a meticulous approach to ensure the full recovery and optimal performance of all-rounder Hardik Pandya.
Rather than rushing his return, the BCCI and NCA have instituted an 18-week-long high-performance program with a focus on the next two T20 World Cups.
The upcoming T20 World Cups are scheduled for 2024 in the West Indies and the USA, followed by India hosting the event in 2026. Given these long-term objectives, the cricket board has prioritized Pandya’s rehabilitation and conditioning to ensure he stays at his best during these crucial tournaments.
“We speak of workload management. This is precisely what it is all about. Is there a doubt on his ability as a T20 cricketer? No. What we rather need is setting long-term goals and ensuring endurance levels remain up to the mark,” a source told CricketNext.
Jasprit Bumrah, Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul also went through a similar programme while they were in rehab at the NCA.
“It is not something new. Shreyas, Bumrah and KL underwent similar programmes during their long injury layoffs and the routine is designed keeping the next assignments in mind. Say for KL, wicket-keeping, subcontinent heat and everything was taken into account. Similarly, Bumrah was eased into cricket with Ireland T20Is before he went full throttle in the Asia Cup,” the source added.
When will Hardik Pandya play next?
Pandya has been ruled out of the South Africa series. India will then play a five-match test series at home against England and the all-rounder is also likely to stay out of that.
So, Pandya might return to action in the Indian Premier League (IPL) later in 2024.
What next for India?
India will fly to South Africa for a complete trip which will see the Men in Blue participate in three T20I and ODIs each and two tests.
