Rishabh Pant Ruled Out of India A's Third Unofficial Test Against New Zealand A
Rishabh Pant will miss India A's third unofficial Test against New Zealand A from November 7 to 10 due to ongoing recovery from a side strain sustained during the Irani Cup. Although Pant has resumed skill training and reports no pain, the BCCI is taking a cautious approach, requiring further fitness assessments before considering his return to competitive cricket. His absence raises questions about his readiness for India's upcoming two-Test series against New Zealand starting November 19, while Dhruv Jurel has strengthened his case as a wicketkeeper-batter.
