Sourav Ganguly said, “Hardik was injured and a break was given to him to completely recover. So that he can continue to serve Indian cricket for a long period of time. I believe I will see him play some Ranji Trophy to start with. I expect him to bowl a lot more overs and his body will get stronger,”

Hardik hasn’t played any international game since the T20 World Cup last year. He was a flop in the T20 World Cup and he didn’t even ball, which adds to further misery. If he needs to make a comeback in the Indian squad, then he really needs to buckle up. He needs to step up his game in both departments.
Pandya was also unavailable for his selection in the Vijay Hazare Trophy as he underwent rehabilitation in Mumbai. But his brother, Krunal Pandya will feature in Baroda’s Ranji team.
Kedhar Dhevdhar will be captaining the Baroda team. Meanwhile, Abhimanyu Easwaran will be holding the command for Bengal.
