Why no Hardik Pandya in IND vs ENG ODIs?

Hardik Pandya’s omission from India’s ODI squad for the England series has a bit surprising, especially with Virat Kohli being picked despite carrying a fitness caveat. The difference, however, lies in Hardik’s injury history. The all-rounder suffered a quadriceps issue during his rehabilitation from a back problem and is still working his way back to full fitness. Reports suggest he was unable to complete the bowling workload required during fitness assessments. With the 2027 World Cup in India’s sights, the BCCI appears unwilling to take any risks with one of its most valuable white-ball players and is cautious over him. Read more here.

WTC points deducted for England

England’s heavy defeat to New Zealand at The Oval has been followed by another setback, with the ICC docking them 12 World Test Championship points and fining players 50% of their match fees for a slow over-rate. The penalty has dropped England’s points percentage significantly, leaving them seventh in the standings. New Zealand, meanwhile, levelled the series 1-1 thanks to Matt Henry’s 11-wicket match haul. England will, however, welcome back Ben Stokes and Gus Atkinson for the series decider at Trent Bridge after both were cleared following the recent nightclub controversy. Read more here.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi to make India debut?

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s fairytale story looks set to reach another milestone, with the 15-year-old expected to make his India debut in the upcoming T20I series against Ireland. If selected, he will become the youngest player ever to represent India, breaking Sachin Tendulkar’s long-standing record. He just had a stunning run that includes a mind-blowing IPL 2026 season, a dominant U-19 World Cup campaign and a record-breaking knock of 94 off 29 balls for India A. The headache will be who India leaves out to make room for him. With Sanju Samson coming off a brilliant T20 World Cup and Abhishek Sharma still India’s top-ranked T20I batter, the team management faces a tough selection call. Read more here.

England to host Bangladesh
