Mumbai: All-rounder Hardik Pandya has been dropped from the upcoming Australia series since he is suffering from back stiffness.
India and Australia are due to play a two-match Twenty20 International (T20I) series and a five-match One-day International (ODI) series, beginning February 24.
Ravindra Jadeja has been named replacement for Hardik Pandya for the 5 ODIs, while the T20I squad will now consist of 14 members, the Board of Control for Cricket in India said in an official statement.
“Team India all-rounder Mr. Hardik Pandya has been ruled out of the forthcoming T20I & ODI series against Australia due to lower back stiffness,” it further said.
