Now, it has raised questions about the Indian all-rounder’s availability for the upcoming three-match T20I and three-match ODI series in Australia. As reported by ESPNCricinfo, Hardik Pandya is highly unlikely to make it to the flight for Australia with the Men in Blue this month.

While Shivam Dube last played an ODI over a year ago in Sri Lanka, Reddy is yet to make his debut in the 50-over format. With the ICC World Cup 2027 scheduled in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia, India is keen to identify reliable backups for Hardik Pandya in advance.
India eyes big changes in all-rounders ahead of Australia tour
Meanwhile, India’s upcoming tour of Australia could see some big changes in the team, especially in the all-rounders department. In recent ODI and T20I squads, India relied heavily on spin all-rounders like Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, and Washington Sundar, with Riyan Parag as a standby.
But Australian pitches are not easy for spinners, so the team may look to try seam-bowling all-rounders instead in the upcoming white-ball series. Australia’s conditions favor pace and fast bowlers, so India may want a mix of batting all-rounders and seamers rather than relying only on spin all-rounders.
Riyan Parag and Mohammed Siraj set for ODI return
It is being said that both Tilak Varma and Riyal Parag could be picked in the ODI squad for the Australia tour. Additionally, the seasoned fast bowler Mohammed Siraj, who hasn’t played an ODI since Sri Lanka over a year ago, is in contention for the India return on the Australia tour.
Siraj’s experience and pace could give India a strong boost in the bowling attack. Prasidh Krishna is another fast-bowling option, known for his aggressive, hit-the-deck style. He is likely to become the third seamer in the T20I squad, providing India with extra firepower.
