The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has commenced the search for a new keeper as the future of Rishabh Pant’s position as keeper remains unclear. Pant underwent a surgery on his left elbow in April and still requires 6-7 months to be fully fit, according to an official. The Indian cricket team management has been experimenting with keepers in recent matches, indicating their concerns about Pant’s recovery. India is scheduled to tour England in August, and Pant’s fitness will be a vital factor in deciding his selection. The BCCI has already ruled Pant out of the upcoming World Test Championship. The news of BCCI’s search for a new keeper has caused a buzz among cricket fans and experts, as Pant has been an integral part of the Indian team in the past two years. He has been regarded as one of the best young keepers in world cricket and his absence can significantly impact India’s chances in international matches. This development highlights the importance of fitness in cricket, and how injuries can affect even the most promising players.
