Ishan Kishan Had To Reject BCCI Offer Of Replacing Rishabh Pant In England. Here's Why
As soon as the news of Rishabh Pant being ruled out for the remainder of the England Test series broke, the Ajit Agarkar -led selection committee decided to contact Ishan Kishan, hoping to add the wicket-keeper batter to the roster as the replacement for the injured star. But, the selection committee received a firm no from Ishan, who had sustained a bizarre injury that prevented him from flying to England for the final Test of the series, even if he wanted to. It has been widely reported that Ishan Kishan won't be available to travel to England as he is not fully. The selectors reached out to him, but it has been conveyed to them that Ishan can't make the trip to England due to an ankle injury. Another report in the Times of India explained that Ishan incurred an injury after falling from a scooty. The injury was such that he needed stitches on his left ankle. Hence, flying to England as a replacement for Pant was out of question. Kishan was recently seen in action for Nottinghamshire in the County Championship, where he had signed a short-term deal. He registered scores of 87 and 77, impressive everyone with his performance with the bat. According to a report in Cricbuzz, N Jagadeesan 'is almost certain' to replace the injured Pant for the remainder of the series. Jagadeesan, a right-handed keeper batter from Tamil Nadu, has an experience of 52 first-class matches. In those matches, he took 133 catches and affected 14 stumpings. He has 3373 first-class runs. The report added that Jagadeesan "is expected join the squad ahead of the fifth and final Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. The selectors and the team management were looking at Ishan Kishan as a potential option and it later emerged that the 27-year-old keeper from Jharkhand is not available."

Ishan Kishan forced to reject Ajit Agarkar's offer to replace injured Rishabh Pant: 'Selectors reached out but...'
India's growing injury crisis in the ongoing Test series against England deepened on Thursday when Rishabh Pant faced a severe blow to his toe, which ruled him out of carrying the wicketkeeping duties in Manchester. It was revealed that Pant had fractured his toe, which sparked discussions surrounding the addition of a back-up option to the squad. While Ishan Kishan's name had been discussed as a potential cover for the role, it has now been revealed that the Jharkhand keeper, too, will not be available to travel to the UK for the fifth and final Test at The Oval. Ishan Kishan is unavailable for selection for the fifth and final Test at The Oval(Reuters/Files) Ishan has suffered an ankle injury and is not fully fit to make the trip. While Pant shocked many by bravely walking out to bat on Day 2, he is effectively out of the final Test, with the injury still being a major concern. India's team management is now in a tricky position, with one fit specialist wicketkeeper available in the main squad. Dhruv Jurel, who replaced Pant behind the stumps in the third Test, will take on the role once again in the fourth, and is set to be included in the playing XI for the final match of the series. However, Ishan's unavailability closes the door on what could have been a useful addition to the squad's depth. 'Ishan Kishan won't be available to travel to England. He is not fully fit as he sustained an ankle injury. The selectors reached out to him but it has been conveyed to them that Ishan can't make it,' a source privy to the developments told Hindustan Times. The 27-year-old Pant sustained the fracture while attempting a reverse sweep off Chris Woakes on Day 1 in Manchester. The blow left his foot bloodied and swollen, forcing him to retire hurt on 37. The BCCI confirmed that Pant would not keep wickets for the rest of the match but would be available to bat 'as per team requirements.' Pant turned up to bat on Day 2 to a standing ovation from the fans following the fall of the sixth Indian wicket. Adding to the concerns is the fact that India's list of injuries is expanding at an alarming rate. Nitish Kumar Reddy has already been ruled out of the series with a knee issue, while pacers Akash Deep and Arshdeep Singh are sidelined with a groin niggle and a finger injury, respectively. Pant himself had sustained a finger injury during the third Test at Lord's, which prevented him from keeping in the second innings. KL Rahul an option, but… KL Rahul, who is part of the squad and has previously kept wickets, remains an option. However, the team management could be hesitant to even consider him as a back-up option, given his success at the opening spot. Rahul completed 400 runs in the series during the first innings in Manchester, and there is a concern that adding wicketkeeping duties could overburden him or disrupt his batting rhythm. Ishan's name had resurfaced after the latest blow to Pant, with selectors seeing him as a viable backup given his recent county experience with Nottinghamshire and previous exposure with India A. But his ankle setback now puts India in a spot of bother. With the series poised at 2-1 in England's favour, India now face a herculean task of winning the fourth Test without a fully fit Pant. While Pant did come out to bat, his movement was significantly limited as he limped his way out to the middle. Pant's absence in the final Test will rob the side of its most dynamic batter, and Ishan's unavailability has further closed off a fallback route.

Ishan Kishan Not Available For 5th India-England Test Due To...
Last Updated: Ishan, who last played a Test match for India in July 2023, was reportedly in line to replace Rishabh Pant in India's squad for the fifth Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. Ishan Kishan was expected to join the Indian team in England later this week as a replacement for wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant, who suffered a foot injury on Wednesday (July 24), but it has now been reported that the 27-year-old stumper from Jharkhand will miss out due to an injury. According to a report in the Times of India, Ishan has suffered an ankle injury recently and has 10 stitches on his left foot after he fell from a scooty. 'Ishan has suffered an ankle injury and has ten stitches on his left foot after he fell from a scooty," a source tracking the development was quoted as saying by TOI on Thursday. 'Selectors did reach out to Ishan, but only on Thursday. His stitches have been removed, and he currently has a plaster on his left ankle." Kishan, who last played a Test match for India in July 2023 against the West Indies, was seen as a like-for-like replacement of Pant. Kishan played a couple of County Championship matches for Nottinghamshire last month and impressed with his batting performances in England. In the first match, he scored 87 runs from 98 balls as a No. 6 batter against Yorkshire. And in the second match played against Somerset in Taunton, he scored 77 runs from 128 balls with the help of eight fours and two sixes. 'Update: Rishabh Pant, who sustained an injury to his right foot on Day 1 of the Manchester Test, will not be performing wicket-keeping duties for the remainder of the match. Dhruv Jurel will assume the role of wicket-keeper. Despite his injury, Rishabh Pant has joined the team on Day 2 and will be available to bat as per team requirements," BCCI tweeted. Before suffering an injury on Wednesday, Pant had scored 37 runs from 48 balls with the help of two fours and one six. He needs three more runs to break Rohit Sharma's record of 2617 runs and become India's leading run getter in the World Test Championship. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
