Hardik Pandya has been pulled out of the squad for the first two Tests against Sri Lanka due to begin in Kolkata on November 14. A media release from the BCCI said the selection committee had taken the call in consultation with the team management so as to lessen the allrounder’s chances of injury. “Considering Mr Pandya’s heavy recent workload, the decision was made to negate any possibility of a major injury concern. Mr Pandya will undergo a period of strength at conditioning at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru.”
