  "summary": "Hardik Pandya, the Indian all-rounder, will miss India A's three fixtures against Australia A in Puducherry due to fresh shin pain. This recurring injury has previously ruled him out of both Afghanistan ODIs and T20Is, and his availability for the upcoming T20Is against New Zealand is now considered highly doubtful. The BCCI medical team has advised further rest following fresh scans, and the timing of this setback is particularly frustrating as Pandya was being considered for a late entry into the Asian Games squad.",
