BCCI wanted Hardik Pandya for West Indies ODIs, selectors draw line to avoid past ‘subject to fitness’ mistake: Report | Cricket

The Board of Control for Cricket in India was keen on having Hardik Pandya participate in the upcoming one-day international matches against the West Indies. However, the national selection panel opted against including the all-rounder.

The committee took a firm stance to prevent repeating prior errors regarding players being chosen conditionally based on physical clearance, deciding instead not to name him under a provisional fitness status.
