BCCI spills the tea on Hardik's ODI snub for NZ series

Alright, squad, BCCI just served up the scoop on Hardik Pandya getting benched for the ODI series against New Zealand kicking off January 11. Why? Because he’s not cleared to bowl 10 overs yet, so they’re giving him a breather for the T20 World Cup prep. But hold up, he’s been smashing it with 142 runs in three innings! Nitish Kumar Reddy is still in the mix, though.
