Al Jazeera
Pant returns to the side more than a year after his near-fatal car crash as India name Rohit Sharma-led 15-man squad.
Rishabh Pant has found his way back into the Indian cricket team after being included in the country’s 15-man squad for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024.
The wicketkeeper batter, who suffered multiple injuries in a horrific life-threatening car crash in December 2022, made his comeback to the game earlier this month with his Indian Premier League franchise Delhi Capitals.
Pant was one of the few players whose inclusion in the T20 World Cup squad would have been subject to some scrutiny given his lack of professional outings in recent months.
However, Indian selectors have put their weight behind the attacking batter who has scored 987 runs in 66 T20 internationals.
Rohit Sharma will lead India’s quest for a second T20 World Cup title, with all-rounder Hardik Pandya as his deputy.
