    Pant Returns, Akash Deep Included In India’s Squad For Tests Against South Africa

    By IANS News November 05, 2025 • 18:16 PM View: 414
    World Test Championship: Wicketkeeper-batter and vice-captain Rishabh Pant has made a return to India’s squad for the upcoming two-match Test series against South Africa, starting on November 14 in Kolkata.

    The second game of the series was held in Guwahati on November 22, with the latter set to make its debut as a Test venue. IANS had previously reported that the squad was picked earlier in an online meeting of the Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee held on Wednesday.

    While Pant replaces N Jagadeesan in the Test squad, fast bowler Akash Deep has also earned a return to the Test team in place of Prasidh Krishna. Pant missed the 2-0 Test series win over the West Indies due to his recovery from a foot fracture sustained during the fourth Test against England at Manchester in July.
