India all-rounder Hardik Pandya is likely to be ruled out of the Afghanistan T20s and Indian Premier League (IPL). 

The all-rounder has been out of action since he twisted his left ankle while trying to stop a boundary in a ODI World Cup 2023 game against Bangladesh.

A BCCI source revealed the chance of Hardik Pandya recovering from his ankle injury looks unlikely at the moment.

''There is no update on Hardik's fitness status as of now and one can say there remains a big question mark of him being available before the end of IPL,'' the source added.

Suryakumar Yadav is also set to miss the Afghanistan series due to an ankle injury sustained during the recent series against South Africa.
