The rehabilitation will start post recovery and it makes Hardik a doubtful starter for India's ODI series against England starting in Pune on January 15.

Pandya was struck by a ball during a net session before the start of the third Test match against England in Mohali.

He was released from India's Test squad owing to the injury. Pandya got his maiden Test call up before the start of the Test series against England. Opener KL Rahul and wicket-keeper Wriddhiman Saha are already in the injured list.
