India name Rishabh Pant’s replacement for fifth England Test

The wicket-keeper-batter sustained a fracture to his right foot during the first innings in Manchester.

Rishabh Pant was ruled out as a result of this injury.

India have added Narayan Jagadeesan to their squad for the fifth Test against England at The Oval as his cover.

Jagadeesan has amassed 3373 runs from 52 first-class matches, which includes 10 centuries and 14 half-centuries, at an average of 47.50.

The injury to Pant comes as a major blow to India, with the 27-year-old having been one of their key contributors with the bat.

With 479 runs at an average of 68.42, Pant is India's third-highest run-getter in the ongoing series. This includes two centuries and three half-centuries.

The left-handed batter leaves behind some pretty big shoes to fill as India look to close the five-match ICC World Test Championship series with a win at Oval.

With India having levelled the series back at Edgbaston after a loss in the opener at Trent Bridge, England notched a close win at Lord's before a well-fought draw at Old Trafford. This means that the Asian side can still tie the series going into the final Test at The Oval.
