The selectors would also operate with caution when considering him directly for the ODIs which follow the five T20Is. The team management&#8217;s frustrating wait for their premier all-rounder continues, but they understand that a rushed approach will not be followed as the 2027 World Cup remains the ultimate goal.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>There is no official word from the Indian cricket board yet and it remains to be seen who they draft in as Pandya&#8217;s replacements for the three India A games.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/cricket\/news\/hardik-pandya-set-to-miss-india-a-fixtures-racing-against-time-for-new-zealand-tour-exclusive\/articleshow\/134489676.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hardik Pandya during the ICC Men&#8217;s T20 World Cup 2026 match between India and USA at Wankhede Stadium on February 07, 2026 in Mumbai, India.
