All-rounder Hardik Pandya, who was ruled out of the T20 and the ongoing ODI series against Australia due to 'lower back stiffness', resumed training, on Tuesday, at the pre-season camp of three-time Indian Premier League champions Mumbai Indians.

 

Hardik was ruled out of the limited overs series against Australia as a precautionary measure and was subsequently replaced by Ravindra Jadeja in the 50-over squad.

The seam bowling all-rounder along with his T20 specialist elder brother Krunal joined the Mumbai Indians camp at the Reliance Corporate Park cricket ground in Ghansoli, a senior franchise official said.

The official informed that Hardik did 'strength endurance training' on Tuesday but refused to divulge any further information.

Hardik, who has played 11 Tests, 45 ODIs and 38 T20s, had returned to action during the limited-overs series in New Zealand after being handed a provisional suspension for his sexist remarks a TV chat show.

Hardik possibly would have played a few matches of the Mushtaq Ali T20 had Baroda qualified for the Super League.

Apart from Pandya brothers, the others joined the camp are off-spinner Jayant Yadav, leg-spinner Rahul Chahar, pacer Barinder Sran, Rasikh Salam, Mitchell McClenaghan and wicket-keeper Ishan Kishan.
