Hardik Pandya ruled out of Australia A series due to injury setback
Summary

Hardik Pandya will miss India A's three matches against Australia A, starting October 6, due to fresh shin pain. This recurring injury has already sidelined him from earlier series against Afghanistan. The BCCI medical team has advised further rest after scans revealed ongoing issues. His availability for next month's T20Is against New Zealand is now also in doubt, with selectors likely to handle his return cautiously to avoid risking further injury. The all-rounder's progress at the BCCI Centre of Excellence has now faced a significant setback.
