Indian all‑rounder Hardik Pandya has been named in India A’s squad for the upcoming three‑match one‑day series against Australia A in Puducherry, marking his long‑awaited return after being sidelined since May 2026.

The BCCI has announced Campa, SBI Life, and ChatGPT as Associate Partners for India’s home cricket season through March 2028. Valued at over ₹130 crore, underscoring the rising commercial appeal of Indian cricket.

The BCCI has confirmed that Indian cricketers at the 2026 Asian Games will be housed in facilities arranged by the organising committee, rather than the five‑star hotels usually provided during overseas tours.
