Indian cricket team’s star wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant can be seen playing in the upcoming T20 World Cup. Let us tell you that Jay Shah, Secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India, has indicated this in a recent interview.

It is noteworthy that this time T20 World Cup 2024 will be played jointly by USA and West Indies. The tournament is going to start from June 2. So Pant was last seen playing for Team India in the shortest format of the game in November 2022. After a car accident in December 2022, he has been away from competitive cricket for about 15 months.

However, recently IPL franchise Capitals has informed that Pant will be seen playing for the team in the upcoming season of IPL. However, nothing is clear yet whether Pant will keep wickets in the tournament or not.

Jai Shah gave hints

Let us tell you that regarding Rishabh Pant’s playing in the T20 World Cup, Jay Shah said in an interview to news agency PTI – He (Pant) is batting well, his health is fine. We are going to declare him fit soon.

If he can play for us in the T20 World Cup, it will be a big thing for us. He is a great asset to our team. If he can remain fit, he can play the T20 World Cup. It will be worth watching how he performs in the IPL.

From this statement given by Jay Shah, you can guess that if Pant is successful in performing well in the IPL, then he can be seen playing for Team India in the T20 World Cup. So, if Pant is selected then Jitesha Sharma and Ishan Kishan may be dropped from the team.
