BCCI Lifts Suspension On Hardik Pandya And KL Rahul, Twitterati Reacts
Well, finally, the all-rounder Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul have got the redemption, as the respective Board of Control for Cricket in India has revoked the suspensions. Hardik Pandya will join the Indian National Cricket Team while KL Rahul will play against England Lions at home.
In a late night media release, the Indian Cricket Board announced that Pandya will join the national team for the limited overs series in New Zealand. While KL Rahul won’t get to fly to New Zealand, he will now be part of the India A Squad that is playing 5 one-day games against England Lions in Thiruvananthapuram.
Inquiry on Hardik Pandya, KL Rahul is still pending:
Earlier in the day, after discussing the matter with amicus curiae P S Narasimha, CoA decided to lift the suspension. However, the inquiry is still pending for which an ombudsman is to be appointed by the Supreme Court. The apex court has listed the matter tentatively for February 5.

According to norms, investigation and verdict over misconduct by cricketers registered with the BCCI can be done by an ombudsman of the Board. Considering the appointment of this ombudsman is pending, the CoA opined that the suspension of the players could be lifted.
Following the decision, BCCI issued a statement stating: “The above matter and decision has been taken with the concurrence of the Learned Amicus Curiae, Mr P.S. Narasimha. In view of the above, the suspension orders dated 11.01.2019 is immediately lifted pending appointment and adjudication of the allegations by the BCCI Ombudsman.”

“Hardik Pandya will be sent to New Zealand to join the team at the earliest and KL Rahul will join India A squad to play the last 3 one-day games against England Lions,” the release added.
All in all, Hardik Pandya would hope to deliver the goods for the national team to get back his lost respect. Meanwhile, KL Rahul needs to perform well to get the ICC World Cup 2019 berth.
Here are the tweets:
Good to see there is some activity with Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul. The forced indecision was helping nobody. There must still be a hearing and a verdict but like with Ben Stokes, pending that, they should be free to play. India 'A' would be a good restart.
