Pant was axed from the limited-overs sides for the SriLanka series. He was set to report to the NCA for rehabilitation next week. BCCI fears his niggle could be aggravated and asked doctors to hold off further treatment. As things stand, his return for the Australia series seems far-fetched.
“The team management had already decided that he would not have played any of the T20Is or ODIs against the touring Sri Lanka and New Zealand teams over the next month. Pant was supposed to reach National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru on Jan 6 for strengthening his knee. He was told that he was needed fit for the Australia series and then the subsequent ODI series before the IPL. He was already carrying the niggle. The accident may have aggravated it,” the source further told TOI.
