Rishabh Pant ruled out; Narayan Jagadeesan named replacement

Mumbai: India suffered a major setback ahead of the fifth and final Test against England as wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant has been ruled out due to a right foot fracture sustained during the fourth Test in Manchester. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed the development on Saturday and named Narayan Jagadeesan as his replacement for the match scheduled to begin on July 31 at the Kennington Oval in London. Jagadeesan, who has impressed in domestic cricket and the Indian Premier League, will likely serve as a backup to Dhruv Jurel, who is expected to take over primary wicketkeeping duties in the decisive Test.
