Hardik was last seen in action playing for Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 but returned home after the tournament was postponed by the BCCI indefinitely earlier this week.

The all-rounder had a poor run in the now truncated season as he managed only 52 runs from seven outings. Hardik didn’t bowl a single ball in the tournament and has not been included in India’s Test squad for the England tour, comprising a World Test Championship final and a five-Test series against England.

The BCCI president Sourav Ganguly said that India will tour tour Sri Lanka for a limited-overs series in  July and Hardik is expected to be on that flight. The Indian team will travel without their star players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah, who all will be in the UK for the Test series against England, which will get underway in August.
