IND vs Eng: BCCI Share Rishabh Pant Injury Update, Cricket News is the updated squad for oval testing here
The Control Board for Cricket in India (BCCI) shared an update on Rishabh Pant on Sunday and also revealed the squad for the fifth and final test between England and India played at the Oval. The BCCI said in a statement, “Rishabh Pant, who maintained a fracture in his right leg during the fourth test against England in Manchester, has been excluded from the fifth and final test of the series.” “The BCCI medical team will continue to monitor their progress, and the team wishes for rapid recovery.” Tamil Nadu batsman Narayan Jagadisin has been declared as Pant’s replacement. “The men’s selection committee has nominated Narayan Jagadisin as Rishabh Pant’s replacement for the fifth Test, which begins on 31 July 2025 at Kennington Oval, London.” India’s coach Gautam Gambhir on Sunday confirmed the pant injury for the first time after saving the draw in the fourth Test at Old Trafford. Pant retired on 1 day, when he was taken out of the ground on a cart with his leg, but he returned to reach a half century in 2 days in a day.
“It has been declared that he is out of the series, and one thing I want to say is that the character and foundation of this team will be built for the team and also for the country,” Gambhir said. “Any kind of praise is not enough for him, especially for batting with a broken leg. “I think the future generations will talk about it, and the generations to come should talk about it.” The pants were injured while attempting a reverse sweep from Chris Woakes, and the ball disintegrated his right ankle and leg. India did not confirm the boundary of injury at that time, but was converted into a wicketkeeper by Dhruv Jurlel for the remaining of the match.
