Wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant will arrive at the BCCI Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru on Monday for foot injury rehabilitation. The 27-year-old sustained a fractured fifth metatarsal during the Manchester Test against England in July. Medical staff recently removed his protective cast, and Pant walks without difficulty or pain.
Pant has worked with specialists, such as Dr. Dinshaw Pardiwala, to monitor his recovery progress. The injury occurred when he reverse-swept Chris Woakes and struck his foot with the ball during the first day at Old Trafford. Despite the fracture, Pant returned the next day wearing a protective boot and completed his innings for 54 runs.
Centre of Excellence doctors will evaluate his condition on Tuesday. This assessment determines his rehabilitation schedule and potential availability for the October Tests against the West Indies. Pant averaged 68.42 runs during the England series with 479 total runs across seven innings.
