Rishabh Pant Ruled Out: India's 4th Test Changes
In the India vs England cricket match, Rishabh Pant got hurt and can't play anymore.
He has a broken bone and will be out for about six weeks.
Another player, Dhruv Jurel, can take his place as the wicketkeeper.
However, the rules don't allow India to bring in another batter to replace Pant.
It's possible Pant might still try to bat later in the game if he needs to.
Some people think it's unfair that India might have to play with one less player, since the rules don't allow a substitute.
Rishabh Pant was ruled out of the 4th Test due to an injury.
Pant suffered a fracture on Day 1 after attempting a reverse sweep.
Dhruv Jurel is allowed to substitute as wicketkeeper.
India is not allowed to bring in a like-for-like batting replacement.
There is a chance Pant could bat after taking painkillers.
