The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed late on Friday night that Hardik Pandya, KL Rahul have been suspended from playing any form of cricket with immediate effect and will return to India from the ongoing Australia tour over comments made on a popular TV chat show. The Indian cricket board, in a media release, said an inquiry and proceedings will be made against the two cricketers for misconduct and indiscipline. The selection committee will "soon" name the replacements of Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul for the ODI series against Australia, which starts on Saturday, and as well as the tour to New Zealand.
