“Yes, Hardik’s scan reports have come and the injury is not very serious. Also, the fact that there is a six-day gap between two games gives him enough time to recuperate,” a senior BCCI official told PTI on conditions of anonymity.
“But obviously, the medical team would wait and watch as to how he shapes up during the training sessions,” he added.
Hardik had been taken for scans after he received a blow on his shoulder during the game against Pakistan.
