Hardik Pandya is just not ready to take the all-rounder’s spot in India’s test team.

This according to former West Indies fast bowler Michael Holding, who says Pandya he is not effective as a batsman and lacks control and consistency with the ball.

Pandya who made his test debut last July in Sri Lanka has played nine tests so far and barring the home series against Sri Lanka for which he was rested late last year, he has been the only constant in the test side along with Captain Virat Kohli.

India trails England 2-nil in the five match test series and ahead of the third test this weekend holding sounds the warning to Indian selectors.
