Pant suffers foot fracture, set to miss remainder of Test series

Rishabh Pant is set to miss the remainder of the ongoing Old Trafford Test as well as the final Test at The Oval against England starting next week, with the right-foot injury he suffered on Wednesday's opening day now confirmed to be a fracture.

It is understood that while Pant will certainly not keep wicket in the rest of the fourth Test, a call on whether or not he will be asked to bat or not will be taken by the India team management in consultation with the BCCI medical staff.

The fracture is understood to be of the metatarsal bone in the right foot and the initial diagnosis is that Pant would need six-to-eight weeks’ rest. Clips captured by fans outside the India team hotel in Manchester showed Pant’s right foot in a moonboot.
