ENG vs IND: Rishabh Pant ruled out of 5th Test

Indian wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant has been ruled out of the fifth and final Test against England due to a fracture in his right foot. He suffered the injury during the fourth Test in Manchester. India have added Narayan Jagadeesan to the squad as a replacement for Pant for the fifth Test, scheduled to begin at the Oval on July 31.
Notably, it’s a big setback for India as Pant has been a major contributor with the bat over the past four games. So far, he has hammered two centuries and three half-centuries in the series.
“The BCCI Medical Team will continue to monitor his progress and the team wishes him a speedy recovery,” BCCI said in a statement.
“The Men’s Selection Committee has named Narayan Jagadeesan as replacement for Rishabh Pant for the fifth Test, which begins on July 31, 2025 at Kennington Oval, London.”
India's updated squad for the fifth Test: Shubman Gill (c), Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudharsan, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Karun Nair, Ravindra Jadeja, Dhruv Jurel (wk), Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohd. Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Akash Deep, Kuldeep Yadav, Anshul Kamboj, Arshdeep Singh, N Jagadeesan (wk)
