Hardik Pandya has been ruled out of the ODI World Cup due to an ankle injury he suffered while bowling against Bangladesh. Fast bowler Prasidh Krishna has replaced him in India's squad.

Indian allrounder Hardik Pandya will miss the World Cup match against England due to ligament damage in his ankle. He will undergo a fitness test on Thursday to determine his return date.
