Pant\u2019s injury could impact India\u2019s chances of qualifying for the World Test Championship final later in the year. India\u2019s four-Test series against Australia at home next week holds the key. Pant has been a crucial cog having turned the course of Test matches for India in the last two years.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe team management had already decided that he would not have played any of the T20Is or ODIs against the touring Sri Lanka and New Zealand teams over the next month. He was supposed to reach National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru on Jan 6 for strengthening his knee. He was told that he was needed fit for the Australia series and then the subsequent ODI series before the IPL. He was already carrying the niggle. The accident may have aggravated it,\u201d the source added.<\/p>\n

BCCI will first assess the grade of the injury and decide on the course of treatment. Pant and Indian fans will have their fingers crossed that he recovers in time for the Australia series and the IPL. But that would look like a miracle.<\/div>\n
