Rishabh Pant's comeback delayed, BCCI finalizes new first-choice Test wicketkeeper ...Middle East

Pant suffered an injury on the opening day of the Old Trafford Test against England when a reverse sweep off Chris Woakes struck his foot. The left-handed batter retired hurt on 37 and was taken off the field in a golf cart. However, the southpaw returned on the following day to continue his innings.

Rishabh Pant recently returned to India and is now walking comfortably after consulting a specialist in Mumbai. The left-handed batter is set to continue rehabilitation at the BCCI’s Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru.

"Although he is reportedly walking comfortably, it is learnt that there is just an outside chance of him playing the two Tests against the Caribbeans," the report read.
