Rishabh Pant Health Update: BCCI begins HUNT for new keeper as Pant's future as keeper UNCERTAIN, official says 'will take 6-7 months more to be fit'

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has started looking for a new wicket-keeper amid uncertainty over Rishabh Pant’s fitness and future as the team’s keeper. According to an official, Pant needs at least 6-7 more months to regain full fitness and it remains uncertain if he will continue as India’s first-choice wicket-keeper. Pant suffered a serious injury during India’s tour of Australia earlier this year and his fitness has been a cause of concern for the team ever since. The search for a new keeper comes ahead of India’s upcoming tour of England, where they are scheduled to play a five-match Test series starting in August. The BCCI is expected to announce their decision soon. The wicket-keeper is a vital position in cricket and plays a vital role in the team’s success. The uncertainty over Pant’s fitness and future makes this development even more important. The BCCI will need to find a reliable and experienced keeper to fill in for Pant if he is unable to regain his fitness in time.
