Rishabh Pant’s Return To Competitive Cricket In Focus As India A Take On South Africa A
Rishabh Pant: A dash of flamboyance and fearlessness will be added to the hectic cricketing schedule when wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant marks his return to competitive cricket when he leads India A against South Africa A in the first four-day fixture at the BCCI Centre of Excellence Ground, starting here on Thursday.
For Pant, it’s more than just a comeback - it’s a chance to start afresh and get himself into playing rhythm ahead of the Tests against South Africa happening next month. Pant, 28, had been sidelined since fracturing the fifth metatarsal of his right foot during the fourth Test against England in Manchester.
Since then, the longish recovery path meant Pant was absent from India’s 2-0 series win over West Indies earlier this month. But with Pant spending the last three months in rehabilitation, especially sharpening both his glove work and strokeplay under the watchful eyes at the CoE, the games against South Africa A offer a timely chance for Pant to warm up and be at his swashbuckling best.
