Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya is eyeing the 3-match ODI series against Australia for his national comeback. Having resumed bowling in the nets, the right-arm seamer is hoping to return to action during the 50-over leg of the Australia tour.

Pandya revealed, "I'm trying hard to be fit for the ODI series against Australia to start in January 2019. To get back to full fitness, I'm going through rigorous bowling sessions in Mumbai. I have just started bowling after 60 days. Once I bowl a few overs in the ODIs, I think I should be on the right track."

After playing four Tests on the England tour, Pandya twisted his back during the Asia Cup encounter against Pakistan in Dubai. Since then, he has been undergoing rehabilitation in a bid to counter the after-effects of the injury.

The three-match ODI series between Australia and India will begin on January 12th at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
