    "editor1": "<p>London, Aug 16 - Former BCCI chief selector Dilip Vengsarkar has backed the inclusion of rookie wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant in India&#39;s playing XI for the third cricket Test against England, starting at Trent Bridge on Saturday.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nAlready in the backfoot after losing the first two Tests at Edgbaston and Lord&#39;s, India find themselves in a must-win situation in the five-match Test rubber with all eyes on the non-performing batting order with the exception of skipper Virat Kohli.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nVengsarkar, who was the chairman of selectors when Kohli made his debut, has now called for the inclusion of the explosive southpaw in the playing XI.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;Rishabh Pant should get in. Apart from Kohli, nobody has shown that they could score runs here. Whether it&#39;s English or Australian conditions, you have to adapt quickly. You have to apply yourself and get runs,&quot; Vengsarkar was quoted as saying by BBC Radio.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;You have to give respect to the bowlers,&quot; he added.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nIf Pant gets his maiden Test cap in Nottingham, that means Dinesh Karthik will be shown the door. Karthik, with scores of 0, 20, 1 and 0 in the four innings so far, has failed to justify his inclusion in the side.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nEarlier, former India skipper Sourav Ganguly had also backed the inclusion of Pant for the third Test.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>IANS<\/p>\r\n",
