The Pant inclusion- a one-off or an investment for the future
In what can be called as a commendable decision by the selectors, Delhi youngster Rishabh Pant found a place in the squad as the backup wicket-keeper to Dinesh Karthik in the squad, ahead of the likes of Parthiv Patel, who was picked for the South Africa tour earlier in the year.

The left-hander had a terrific IPL season with the Delhi Daredevils and he backed that with an equally good showing in the 'A' series in England and those exploits have earned him his maiden call-up to the Test side.
It remains to be seen now if Pant is picked regularly in the Indian squad for subsequent tours or if this is just a one-off since a few others are injured and out.
