The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has reportedly started a search for a new wicketkeeper as Rishabh Pant’s future as keeper remains uncertain. This comes after an official confirmed that the young player will need at least 6 to 7 more months to fully recover from his recent injuries. Pant suffered a hamstring injury during the recently concluded Australia tour, and is currently undergoing rehab at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru. The news has left many cricket fans wondering who will don the gloves in the upcoming matches. While the BCCI has yet to confirm any potential candidates, reliable sources suggest that Sanju Samson and Ishan Kishan are being considered. Although Pant has shown great potential as a wicketkeeper-batsman, his fitness concerns could force the BCCI to make some tough decisions. This news is especially relevant to cricket fans who have been eagerly anticipating the upcoming India-England series, which starts later this month. With Pant’s future uncertain, it will be interesting to see who ends up taking his place as India’s keeper.
