Hardik Pandya has announced his separation from wife Natasa Stankovic, ending speculations about their relationship on Thursday. The Team India all-rounder confirmed the news in a statement on his official Instagram profile.
"After 4 years together, Natasa and I have mutually decided to part ways. We tried our best and gave it our all, and we believe this decision is in the best interest of both of us. This was a tough decision, considering the joy, mutual respect, and companionship we shared as we grew a family," Hardik wrote. "We are blessed with Agastya, who will continue to be at the center of both our lives, and we will co-parent to ensure we give him everything we can for his happiness. We sincerely request your support and understanding to give us privacy during this difficult and sensitive time."
The statement from Hardik comes shortly after the BCCI announced Team India's squad for the limited-overs series against Sri Lanka, which saw Suryakumar Yadav becoming the new T20I captain. Hardik, who was the vice-captain in India's last T20I assignment at the World Cup last month, was overlooked for the captaincy spot due to fitness concerns. It was reported that Hardik was already informed about the decision.
Despite this, the all-rounder will take part in the T20I series under Suryakumar's captaincy. This will be Suryakumar's second bilateral T20I series as captain, having previously led the side in South Africa last year.
