Cricket News: Uncertainty over return of Hardik Pandya & KL Rahul

Any hopes of Pandya and Rahul making a quick comeback from suspension were dashed when the Supreme Court said that it will hear all issues in the BCCI matter after a week. The apex court adjourned the BCCI case after appointing PS Narasimha as the new Amicus curiae, who will assist the court with the case after senior advocate Gopal Subramanium stepped down from the role. The next hearing will be held after the new Amicus curiae can appear before the court. The lawyer representing the CoA also requested the appointment of an ombudsman in BCCI to decide the fate of the two cricketers who currently stand suspended due to their comments on a popular tv show. With the court yet to appoint an ombudsman Pandya and Rahul will miss the series against New Zealand too, which starts from January 23.
