Rishabh Pant will make his return to Indias squad for the two-test series against South Africa, the countrys cricket board announced on Wednesday, marking his comeback from a foot fracture that sidelined him from the series against West Indies.
Pant missed the 2-0 series drubbing of West Indies last month after fracturing his foot during a test match against England in September, with Dhruv Jurel stepping in to keep wickets.
Pant proved his match fitness in style last week in a game between India A and South Africa A in Bengaluru, where the 28-year-old scored 90 in the second innings to guide his team to a three-wicket victory.
