Is Hardik Pandya playing in the Ranji Trophy 2024-25?

Is India's ace all-rounder Hardik Pandya featuring in the Ranji Trophy 2024-25 for Baroda? If not, what could be the reason? See the Baroda squad for the ongoing Ranji Trophy.

Not very long ago, news surfaced that Hardik Pandya was in the scheme of things for India in Test cricket and could play in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy. For preparation, Pandya was likely to play for Baroda in the Ranji Trophy 2024-25. However, all these reports turned out to be false, especially the latter part, as Hardik Pandya has not been included in Baroda’s squad for the Ranji Trophy 2024-25 season. A possible reason could be that he is currently playing a lot of white-ball cricket for India. He recently played a 3 match T20I series against Bangladesh and showed impressive performances. Also, there are many limited-over cricket matches coming up for India, they will be touring South Africa for 4 T20Is, and England will tour India for 5 T20s and 3 ODIs. All these factors suggest that the current management wants him to focus more on limited-overs cricket rather than the longer format.

Looking at Hardik Pandya’s Ranji Trophy past, the ace all-rounder last played in the Ranji Trophy way back in 2018 against Mumbai, where he scored 73 runs and also took 5 wickets.
