Hardik Pandya Out of New Zealand Series After Fresh Shin Injury

India all-rounder Hardik Pandya sustained a fresh shin injury during a practice session in Wellington, ruling him out of the upcoming Test series against New Zealand.
Medical assessment indicates the injury requires rest and physiotherapy, with an estimated recovery period of two to three weeks, meaning Pandya will miss the first two Tests.
The Indian squad will have to adjust its bowling attack, with Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami expected to shoulder more responsibility.
Pandya's absence is a blow to India's plans, as he is a key all-rounder and has been in good form after returning from a previous injury.
