Hardik fails fitness tests, Vijay replaces him in India A squad
Flamboyant India all-rounder Hardik Pandya was on Saturday pulled out of the India A team's tour of New Zealand after he failed mandatory fitness tests in Mumbai. The selectors had picked him in the squad without testing him in the Ranji games. Tamil Nadu captain Vijay Shankar has been drafted into the India A team and he has already boarded the flight to New Zealand.
