Wicket Keeper Batsman Rishabh Pant, who retired hurt on the opening day of the fourth Test in Manchester, Old Trafford has suffered a fracture in his right toe—an injury that could take up to two months to heal.
The injury occurred during the second session of play when Pant attempted to reverse sweep a delivery from Fast Bowler Chris Woakes, only to inside-edge it onto his front (right) foot.
According to a BCCI statement, Pant will not be performing wicket-keeping duties for the remainder of the match. Dhruv Jurel will assume the role of wicket-keeper.
Despite his injury, Rishabh Pant joined the team on Day 2 and will be available to bat as per team requirements.
