India’s Rishabh Pant returns to Test cricket two years on from his life threatening car accident

from Stumped · host BBC World Service

Alison Mitchell, Jim Maxwell and Charu Sharma discuss India’s men’s Test squad for the upcoming series against Bangladesh and in particular the return of Rishabh Pant. The wicketkeeper batter has been named in the Test squad for the first time since his serious car accident in December 2022. There’s also a maiden Test call-up for left-arm fast bowler Yash Dayal. Ahead of the Women’s T20 World Cup, Australia all-rounder Sophie Molineux tells Charlotte Swift she had a tear in her eye after making her return to international cricket. That’s after a succession of injuries forced her out of the sport for more than two years. And we look at what Sri Lanka’s third and final Test win over England in London might mean for cricket in Sri Lanka.Image: Rishabh Pant of India during the ICC Men's T20 Cricket World Cup West Indies & USA 2024 Super Eight match between Australia and India at Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium on June 24, 2024 in Gros Islet, Saint Lucia.
