India all-rounder Hardik Pandy will miss the upcoming World Cup match against England as well after being sidelined in New Zealand's encounter.
According to Cricinfo, Hardik was supposed to join the team directly in Lucknow where India will take on England but the all-rounder has still not recovered from the injury.
“Star all-rounder Hardik Pandya is likely to sit out of India's next two World Cup matches as he is yet to recover from the ankle injury that rendered him out of action last week,” PTI said.
Hardik sustained an ankle sprain while bowling during the Bangladesh game in Pune. He tried to stop a straight drive from Litton Das with his foot by instead twisted it.
The physio attended him at the ground and then he walked off after hobbling for a bit. Virat Kohli completed the remainder of three balls of his Pandya’s over.
The host India won all five matches in the ongoing World Cup which made them the table-toppers.
