IND vs AUS Test Series: Hardik Pandya drops a huge update on his Test return ahead of Border-Gavaskar Trophy

Hardik Pandya recently opened up about his return to Test cricket ahead of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia starting from 9 February.

India’s T20I captain Hardik Pandya, who last played a Test match for India (against England) in 2018, was asked about his return to Test Cricket after the all-rounder guided India to another series win against New Zealand. Pandya replaced KL Rahul as India’s new vice-captain in the limited-overs format after the T20 World Cup last year.

Speaking to reporters after the match, Pandya opened up about returning to Test cricket. “I will come (back) when I feel (it’s) the right time to play Test-match cricket,” Pandya said.

“Right now, I’m going to focus on white-ball cricket, which is important, and if time is right and body is fine, I’ll give (the long format) a try,” he added.

Team India, who is placed second on the ICC World Test Championship points table, will resume its campaign with the upcoming home series against Australia.
