N Jagadeesan Most Likely To Be Called Up For Fifth Test Against England As Pant’s Replacement
Sources have told IANS that Jagadeesan is on his way to Chennai from his hometown Coimbatore to initiate the visa process and join the Indian Test squad in England at the earliest. IANS also understands that left-handed wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan, who recently had a county championship stint with Nottinghamshire, was sounded out to join the team.
It is understood that Kishan is nursing a left ankle injury and will not be fit enough to play in time for the Test starting on July 31 at The Oval. There was also a school of thought to call up KS Bharat, who is currently in England for a stint with Dulwich CC for the 2025 Surrey Championship campaign and can come to The Oval in quick time. But it is understood that Bharat, who played seven Tests for India, is completely ruled out of being back in contention to the red-ball team.
