Latest News about Rishabh Pant
Rishabh Pant was ruled out of the Asia Cup 2025 and the upcoming home Test series against West Indies due to a fractured foot sustained during the Manchester Test in the ICC World Test Championship series against England. The injury occurred on Day 1 of the match, forcing him to stop wicket-keeping duties for the remainder of the game, with Dhruv Jurel taking over the role.
Pant is expected to return to competitive cricket in the Ranji Trophy 2025-26 for Delhi, aiming to play from the last week of October after recovering from his toe fracture. The BCCI medical team is scheduled to assess his fitness at the Centre of Excellence, with sources indicating he could be cleared by October 10 and available for matches starting October 25.
Despite a disappointing overall IPL 2025 campaign, Pant scored a brilliant century (118 off 61 balls) for Lucknow Super Giants against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the final league match. He subsequently disclosed plans to focus on preparation for the England tour following the tournament.
