Overview
- Multiple outlets reported on June 30, 2026 that Pandya has shifted his primary training base to the BCCI Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru and is living close to the facility.
- Reports say the decision is unusual because centrally contracted India players usually use the COE for short-term rehab and camps rather than as a permanent home.
- Pandya is currently rehabilitating a quadriceps injury that ruled him out of the England white-ball tour and his selection for the immediate Zimbabwe series is uncertain with a likely comeback window in September for the West Indies visit.
- Coverage states he will use COE resources while keeping a personal physiotherapist and strength and conditioning coach and sometimes paying for extra practice staff and nets.
- All reporting rests on an anonymous BCCI source quoted to PTI and some details conflict across outlets—most notably whether he rented or bought property—and Pandya has not publicly confirmed the move.
