Rishabh Pant Ruled Out of England Test with Toe Fracture
Imagine a cricket player, Rishabh Pant, hurt his toe while playing a match.
He tried to hit the ball, but it hit his foot instead and he broke his toe.
Now, he can't play for about six weeks!
This is a big problem for his team because he is a key player.
His team might need to find someone else to take his place.
It's also making people wonder if teams should be allowed to replace injured players during the game, like they do in some other sports.
Rishabh Pant is ruled out of the ongoing Test series against England due to a fractured toe.
Pant sustained the injury while batting in the fourth Test in Manchester.
He was hit on the right foot while attempting a reverse sweep.
Ishan Kishan is likely to be added as a cover for Pant for the final Test.
The incident has raised questions about allowing replacement players for injuries in cricket.
