JOIN US After their innings and 64-run mauling of Odisha, champions Karnataka will be further boosted by the return of star batsman Manish Pandey for their next Group ‘A’ encounter against Delhi in Hubballi, starting from Monday.
Pandey, who suffered a finger injury during Karnataka’s match against Haryana in Mysuru last month, returns to bolster the batting line-up. Karnataka were without the services of the right-hander in their matches against Rajasthan and Odisha.
The 26-year-old will replace all-rounder Stuart Binny, who is on national duty as part of the Indian Test team for the ongoing four-match series against South Africa.
Karnataka have also left-out Mir Kaunian Abbas from the 15-member squad.
Squad: Vinay Kumar (captain), Robin Uthappa, Manish Pandey, Karun Nair, CM Gautam, R Samarth, Abhishek Reddy, Shreyas Gopal, J Suchith, Udit B Patel, Mayank Agarwal, Abhimanyu Mithun, S Arvind, HS Sharath, David Mathias.
