Rishabh Pant's Cricket Return: Australia ODIs Possible
Rishabh Pant, a cricket player, is hurt!
He broke his foot during a game and is now getting better.
He's doing exercises to make his foot strong again, like wiggling his toes and walking on his heels.
He's been out for a few weeks.
Doctors think he might be ready to play with the team in Australia next month, but definitely back by the time the home tests against South Africa begin in mid-November.
Someone else is playing in his position right now.
It all depends on how quickly his foot heals!
He's working hard to get back on the field, doing foot exercises to build his strength.
Rishabh Pant is recovering from a right foot fracture.
He sustained the injury during a Test match in July.
Pant is at the BCCI Centre of Excellence for rehab.
He might return for the Australia ODIs in October.
His potential Test return is against South Africa in November.
