"Yes, Pant has confirmed his availability for the next Ranji game and will join the squad in Rajkot directly.

Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal are also likely to play for their respective sides. Following India’s massive setback against Australia, high-profile players are turning up to play domestic cricket in order to regain their form.
