Hardik Pandya is the skipper of the Gujarat Titans, who are currently undergoing quarantine and will start practice at Narendra Modi Stadium in Motera from Thursday (March 18).
Team India all-rounder and Gujarat Titans captain Hardik Pandya has joined the Indian camp, which is underway at the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore, ahead of the beginning of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022.
Hardik, who hasn’t played any cricket since the T20 World Cup last October-November due to fitness issues, will be at the NCA for a few days before he re-joins the Gujarat Titans for the upcoming season of IPL. Pandya is the skipper of the Gujarat Titans, who are currently undergoing quarantine and will start practice at Narendra Modi Stadium in Motera from Thursday.
The all-rounder will have to bowl at least 10 overs to prove his fitness in NCA and be eligible to play in the IPL 2022. “The NCA physios and VVS Laxman will decide the fitness test program. But as the selectors have made it clear, he will have to bowl a minimum of 10 overs and pass the mandatory Yo-yo test as per set parameters. It’s not specially designed for him. But all cricketers do need to pass the fitness tests. For the centrally contracted players, it is mandatory before IPL,” a senior BCCI official told InsideSport website.
