After missing the ongoing limited-overs series against Australia due to injury, all-rounder Hardik Pandya returned to the field on Tuesday. He attended the pre-season camp of three-time IPL champions Mumbai Indians held on Tuesday.
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 MI camp at the Reliance Corporate Park cricket ground in Ghansoli. The official informed that Hardik did "strength endurance training" on Tuesday but refused to divulge any further information.
According to the official, the other players who have joined the camp are off-spinner Jayant Yadav, leg-spinner Rahul Chahar, pacer Barinder Sran, Rasikh Salam, Mitchell McClenaghan and wicket-keeper Ishan Kishan.
It was learnt that the squad will continue its training program at the New Mumbai facility over the weekend, and are tentatively scheduled to move to Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai from March 17.
Led by Rohit Sharma, Mumbai Indians will open their campaign against Delhi Capitals on March 24 at the Wankhede stadium.
