  Rishabh Pant, the wicketkeeper for India, sustained a toe fracture during the Manchester Test and has been recommended to rest for six weeks, which means he will miss the rest of the current series against England. The injury happened when he tried a reverse sweep and was struck on his right foot. While the team management is considering the slight chance of him batting with pain relief if necessary, he is presently unable to walk unaided. Ishan Kishan is anticipated to be summoned as his substitute for the forthcoming fifth Test.
