Hardik Pandya Calcutta: All-rounder Hardik Pandya has been rested for the Test series against Sri Lanka. The BCCI cited “heavy workload” as the reason behind resting Pandya for the Tests. “The all-India senior selection committee in consultation with the Indian team management has decided to rest all-rounder Hardik Pandya for the upcoming Test series against Sri Lanka. Especially in the ODIs in Sri Lanka and against Australia, Pandya has been consistent in taking wickets at crucial periods to give India an upper hand. Without being disrespectful towards Sri Lanka, South Africa are a side that have far more quality in their ranks and they rarely lose at home.
