TOI has learned that the BCCI doctors’ panel has held a meeting with the doctors treating Pant in Dehradun and it has been decided that his ligament will be treated only by the BCCI medical team.
“Pant’s family members and doctors in Dehradun have been informed that his ligament treatment will be supervised by the BCCI. Pant will be discharged from the Dehradun hospital after being under observation. He will then be assessed by the BCCI doctors in Mumbai and further treatment will be decided. It could happen abroad as well,” a BCCI source told TOI on Friday evening.

Pant’s injury could affect India’s chances of qualifying for the final of the World Test Championship at the end of the year. India’s four-Test series against Australia at home next week is crucial. Pant has been a key game-changer in Test matches for India in the last two years.
“The team management had already decided that it would not play any T20Is or ODIs against the touring Sri Lanka and New Zealand teams next month. He was to reach the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru on January 6 for knee strength. He was told that he needed to be fit for the Australia series and then the ODI series before the IPL. He was already swallowing. The accident might have aggravated it,” said the source.
