By IANS News September 25, 2025 • 14:36 PM View: 816

ICC World Test Championship: India's chief selector Ajit Agarkar on Thursday shared an update on Rishabh Pant, who missed the cut for the upcoming two-match Test series against the West Indies due to a foot injury, and said the wicketkeeper-batter is close to getting fit and he is hopeful of his availability for the South Africa series in November.

Pant, who was India's vice-captain in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy in England this year, suffered a fractured left foot during the fourth Test in Manchester. Agarkar, while announcing the Test squad for the series against the West Indies, said that Pant hasn't recovered sufficiently to make the cut and senior all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has been named the vice-captain.
