As a result, Pant will not be able to return to the field for the next 6 months. As a result, he is unlikely to get a chance in the ODI World Cup team to be held at home in October-November. Ligaments play an essential role in maintaining proper posture by maintaining movement and balance. Pant’s treatment process will be time-consuming as he has torn three ligaments. Even the doctors cannot say exactly when Pant will be able to return to the field and start practicing. However, the selectors of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) said that he would have to stay out of the field for at least six months.

Because of that, he will not be able to play in IPL for Delhi Capitals. The new season of IPL will start on April 1. Besides, he will not be able to play for India in the ICC Test Championship final in June. Pant last played against Bangladesh last December. He was then rested for the ongoing series against Sri Lanka at home.
