India wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant has confirmed his availability to feature in Delhi’s Ranji Trophy campaign which will resume on January 23.
Pant’s confirmation came hours after a Delhi and Drict Cricket Association (DDCA) official said that he and Virat Kohli must turn up for Ranji Trophy matches.
“Rishabh Pant has confirmed that he will be available for selection for Delhi’s Ranji Trophy game against Saurashtra in Rajkot,” DDCA secretary Ashok Sharma told The Indian Express after the India keeper and senior batter Virat Kohli were earlier named in the probables l for the last two league stage matches of the Ranji Trophy.
Pant, who featured in all five Tests for India in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia, was recently dropped from India’s T20I squad for the upcoming five-match series against England.
Pant is the latest member of the Test team to confirm his availability for the domestic tournament after the BCCI tightened the screws on the national team players after their 3-1 series defeat in Australia. Earlier, Shubman Gill was confirmed to feature in Punjab’s match against Karnataka. Yashasvi Jaiswal had also confirmed his availability to participate in Mumbai’s next match while Test captain Rohit Sharma had started training with the Ranji squad in Mumbai.
The 27-year-old has featured in all 10 Tests that India have played since September 2024 after making one appearance in the season-opening Duleep Trophy. Pant’s latest Ranji Trophy appearance was in the 2017-18 final against Vidarbha.
