Star wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant is expected to take another crucial step in his recovery journey, with reports suggesting that he will join the Centre of Excellence (CoE) next week to begin his rehabilitation.
Pant, who has been working tirelessly on his fitness after a long injury layoff, is targeting a return to full match readiness ahead of India’s busy Test season in October. His progress has been closely monitored by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) medical staff, who are optimistic about his chances of returning to top-level cricket soon.
The left-hander’s presence is seen as vital for India, particularly in the longer format, where his aggressive batting style and wicketkeeping skills have often turned matches in the team’s favour.
Pant’s return will also bolster India’s middle order and provide stability behind the stumps, as the team prepares for a challenging season of Test cricket at home and abroad. Fans and teammates alike will be eagerly waiting to see him back in action.
