The District Cricket Association (DDCA) committee, led by Directors Shyam Sharma and Harish Singla, met India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant at the NCA where the youngster is going through rigorous sessions to make him fit. 

In an interaction with ANI, Shyam Sharma offered a quick update on the player's fitness. 

He is doing well in his recovery and now he is a lot better. There is a big question about his comeback as it takes time but I hope he will be back on the field as soon as possible.

Who will replace Rishabh Pant at the World Cup?

Pant has used social media to keep updating his fans about his fitness regime. With the World Cup hovering on the horizon currently, there is a very slim chance of him making it to the final squad for the cricketing extravaganza. The likes of Sanju Samson and Ishan Kishan might have a golden chance to prove their worth in the upcoming World Cup campaign as they are likely to be considered in the absence of Pant.
