Hardik Pandya has been ruled out of India’s next ICC ODI World Cup 2023 match against New Zealand at Dharamsala on Sunday.
Hardik sustained the injury to his left ankle when he was struck by Tanzid Tamim during India’s match against Bangladesh at Pune.
"The all-rounder was taken for scans after his fall and has been advised to rest. He will be under the constant supervision of the BCCI Medical Team,” the team said.
India will play New Zealand on October 22 and as a result, Hardik will get seven days rest before the New Zealand match scheduled on October 29.
“He will not be taking the flight to Dharamsala with the team on 20th October and will now join the team directly in Lucknow where India play England,” it added
India won all four matches in the World Cup so far and are second on the points table.
