Rishabh Pant, who sustained a fracture to his right foot during the fourth Test against England in Manchester, has been ruled out of the fifth and final Test of the series. The BCCI Medical Team will continue to monitor his progress.

The Men’s Selection Committee has named Narayan Jagadeesan as a replacement for Rishabh Pant for the fifth Test, which begins on July 31, 2025, at Kennington Oval, London.

India’s Updated Squad for Fifth Test: Shubman Gill (C), Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudharsan, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Karun Nair, Ravindra Jadeja, Dhruv Jurel (WK), Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohd. Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Akash Deep, Kuldeep Yadav, Anshul Kamboj, Arshdeep Singh, N Jagadeesan (WK).

Earlier, India coach Gautam Gambhir confirmed Pant’s injury for the first time after the visitors salvaged a draw in the fourth test at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Pant retired hurt on day one when taken off the field on a cart with his foot badly swollen but he returned, limping, on day 2 to reach a half century.

“It’s been declared that he’s out of the series, and one thing I want to say is that the character and the foundation of this team will be built on something Rishabh did for the team and for the country as well,” Gambhir said. “Any amount of praise is not enough for him, especially batting with a broken foot.

“I think the generations to come forward will talk about it and the generations coming forward should talk about it.”

Pant was injured when attempting a reverse sweep off Chris Woakes and the ball deflected onto his right ankle and foot.
