Uthappa urges Hardik to return to Tests

Since his debut in 2017, Hardik has played only 11 Test matches. But he hasn’t competed in this format since 2018. Injuries forced him to withdraw from Test matches and focus on white-ball cricket.

Robin Uthappa believes Pandya’s return to the seventh spot will help strengthen the side. Considering his fitness, Uthappa feels Pandya has a lot to contribute to red-ball cricket.

“It would be great if Hardik Pandya comes back at No. 7 in Tests. The way he plays. Anything can happen; that’s how cricket is. Never say never. If Hardik decides to play Test cricket, will the BCCI ask him not to play? If he says he wants to play and wants to win the game world test championship (World Trade Center), I don’t think they would say no. I think they were asking him to prove his health. “

“Will the all-rounder bowl 20 overs? Nitish Kumar has not bowled much. He has bowled 12 overs. If he bowls 12-15 overs in an innings, I think he can do it the way he is fit now, the way he is bowling and batting. It is his decision,” Uthappa said on his YouTube channel.

“He’s already halfway there”

Uthappa praised Hardik’s desire to play across formats, pointed out the trophies he won at the ICC and said the World Test Championship could complete his international legacy.

“He has won multiple ICC World Championships now. He has won ICC trophies – Asia Cup, T20 World Cup. He also wants to win the ICC World Test Championship, that’s the whole Grand Slam, right? What cricketer doesn’t want to do that for his country? He’s already halfway there,” he added.
