ENG vs IND fifth Test: Rishabh Pant ruled out of fifth Test due to injury; N. Jagadeesan named replacement
India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant was on Sunday (July 27, 2025) ruled out of the fifth and final Test against England after sustaining a fracture to his right foot on day one of the fourth match here. Tamil Nadu's N. Jagadeesan has been named as his replacement. "Rishabh Pant, who sustained a fracture to his right foot during the fourth Test against England in Manchester, has been ruled out of the fifth and final Test of the series," the BCCI said in a press release. The 27-year-old Pant retired hurt on 37 on the opening day of the Test in Manchester and went for scans after taking a blow to his right foot while attempting a reverse sweep off England pacer Chris Woakes. He, however, returned to bat after the fall of Shardul Thakur's wicket with India at 314/6 and went on to score an audacious fifty. "The BCCI Medical Team will continue to monitor his progress and the team wishes him a speedy recovery," BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia said in the release. "The Men's Selection Committee has named Narayan Jagadeesan as replacement for Rishabh Pant for the fifth Test, which begins on July 31, 2025, at Kennington Oval, London." India's updated squad for the fifth Test: Shubman Gill (C), Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudharsan, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Karun Nair, Ravindra Jadeja, Dhruv Jurel (WK), Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohd. Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Akash Deep, Kuldeep Yadav, Anshul Kamboj, Arshdeep Singh, N Jagadeesan (WK).

BCCI reveals Rishabh Pant's fate for India vs England 5th Test after hard-fought draw in Manchester keeps series alive
A stellar batting effort from India in the second innings in Manchester – which earned them a draw in the fourth Test – may have prevented the necessity for Rishabh Pant to brave his fractured toe, but the Indian wicketkeeper-batter will not be part of the side for the Oval Test. Manchester: India's Rishabh Pant returns to pavilion after his dismissal by England's Jofra Archer on day two of the fourth Test(PTI) The BCCI confirmed Pant has been ruled out with the injury he sustained while batting in the first innings, when he was hit on the toe by a delivery from Chris Woakes. Pant sustained a fracture to his right foot during the drawn fourth Test, and scans later confirmed the damage, forcing the management to sideline him for the Oval clash beginning July 31. The board announced Pant's absence through an official release after India's draw in Manchester. The statement said the BCCI Medical Team will continue to monitor Pant's recovery, while extending best wishes to the player for a swift return to action. Pant had played a key role throughout the opening three Tests, and fought immense pain on his toe to smash a gritty half-century in the first innings at Old Trafford. N Jagadeesan replaces Pant In Pant's absence, the Men's Selection Committee has named Narayan Jagadeesan as his replacement for the final Test. While Jagadeesan is uncapped in the format, he has been part of India's wider red-ball setup over the past year and impressed in domestic cricket. It is expected that Dhruv Jurel will replace Pant in the playing XI in the final Test starting Thursday, as India aim to level the series. Jurel also kept the wickets in Pant's absence behind the stumps throughout the third and fourth Test; the latter suffered from a finger injury in the third match at Lord's. Earlier, India's fight in the Manchester Test was led first by KL Rahul (90) and Shubman Gill (103), before the duo of Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar battled conditions and England's renewed hopes to not only clinch a draw, but also smash their centuries in the second innings.

BCCI to announce India's squad for upcoming five-match Test series against England tomorrow
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India] May 23 (ANI): The Men's Selection Committee will announce India's squad for the upcoming five-match Test series against England starting from June 20 on Saturday in Mumbai, as per a release from BCCI. The Selection Meeting will be followed by a press conference. The Indian cricket team is set to tour England in 2025 for a five-match Test series, part of the 2025-2027 ICC World Test Championship. The series will take place from June to August 2025, with matches at Headingley (Leeds), Edgbaston (Birmingham), Lord's (London), Old Trafford (Manchester), and The Oval (London). This will be India's first bilateral series since both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli announced their retirement from Test cricket earlier this month. Prior to the series, there will also be three India 'A' matches against England Lions, the first of which will take place at the Ground in Canterbury on May 30. Abhimanyu Easwaran will lead India 'A' in those matches, with wicketkeeper/batter Dhruv Jurel appointed vice captain. Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan will link up with the 'A' squad ahead of the second match. Rohit ended his 11-year-long Test career on May 7 after representing the country in 67 Tests. This left India with a massive leadership hole ahead of the England tour starting in June, which will kickstart their ICC World Test Championship campaign. Rohit made his Test debut against the West Indies in November 2013 and went on to represent India in 67 Tests. He amassed 4,301 runs at an average of 40.57, with 12 centuries and 18 fifties. Virat Kohli also announced his retirement from Tests earlier this month, marking an end to a brilliant career spanning 14 years and 123 Tests. Virat's 14-year journey in the whites transformed India into a result-producing machine. He infused aggression and the culture of fitness into a team riddled with youth and experience. In a career that redefined the demands of the game, Virat scored 9,230 runs at an average of 46.85, with 30 centuries and 31 fifties, and finished as India's fourth-highest run-getter in the format.
