5 reasons why Hardik Pandya must be nurtured

#3 Next major ODI tournaments are in England

Pandya can be a valuable addition for the next World Cup and Champions trophy

The Champions trophy next year and the ODI World Cup in 2019 are in England and, India would desperately need Hardik Pandya in those conditions. English conditions have always rewarded swing bowlers and Pandya can be an extremely useful addition to the Indian team with his handy bowling and hard hitting abilities that can clear any ground in the world.

Another advantage of playing Pandya in the team is that India can afford to play 2 spinners on slightly slower surfaces and on bouncier tracks, they can afford to play with three specialist fast bowlers along with him.

A seam bowling all-rounder like Pandya will provide the ideal balance to the side and this will be a great boost to India’s chances to win in England. India needs to make sure that Pandya is fit and more mature by the time they take part in those tournaments.
