Is Axar patel coming in instead of Pandya?

While it was reported that another all-rounder Axar patel could be included in the team to replace hardik pandya, the bcci panicked and denied it. It is said that the reason for this is that captain rohit sharma is very stubborn about one thing. India's key all-rounder hardik pandya is currently out of the team due to injury.
Pandya was the main player of the team in the first three matches of the world cup series. He excelled as a third-fast bowler. He injured his ankle during the match against Bangladesh. So, he left the match halfway through. He did not participate in the next match against New Zealand. It is said that Pandya has no chance of playing in the next four matches in the league round before the semi-final round. In this situation, information has come that all-rounder Axar patel, who was dropped from the team at the last moment before the world cup series, may be included in the team. Since Pandya is an all-rounder, can he even play in the semis? Since it is not certain, can we include an all-rounder of his caliber in the team?
The talk is said to have originated from the BCCI. However, if Axar patel is to be included, it can be done by removing Pandya as per ICC rules. So, captain rohit sharma, and hardik pandya are ready for the semi-final round but enough is enough. It is said that he has told the bcci that he can manage with other players till then. Meanwhile, Pandya is a fast bowler. Axar patel is a spin bowler. So, Rohit might be thinking that this may not be the right change either. While this information has been published in some media, bcci is panicking and denying it. A bcci official, who did not wish to be named, said, "Pandya's injury is worse than we first thought. The plan is to remove Shami. The reason is that all-rounder. What is happening in the indian team? Also, he is undergoing treatment at the National cricket Academy and will not be able to get out of there until the injury heals. Meanwhile, the bcci has decided to wait until he is ready. He will be on rest for the next week. He says that he will prepare for the competition very carefully.
