The Indian team had to face a 1-3 defeat in the Test series against Australia. After this, the BCCI asked the senior players to play domestic cricket. At the same time, former Indian veterans Sunil Gavaskar and Ravi Shastri also want the players playing for the Indian team to play domestic cricket in the red ball format. Now Rishabh Pant has taken a big decision and has declared himself available for the Ranji Trophy match on behalf of the Delhi team.

Delhi team will play against Saurashtra on January 23

The Delhi cricket team has to play against Saurashtra in Rajkot from January 23 in the Ranji Trophy. After this, Delhi has to play against Railways on January 30. The Delhi team is at the fourth position in the table in Group D with 14 points in five matches. Rishabh Pant has declared himself available for Delhi's first match and this was revealed by Delhi & District Cricket Association secretary Ashok Sharma himself. Pant last participated in the Ranji Trophy for Delhi in the 2017-2018 season.

Rishabh Pant will join the team in Rajkot

Ashok Sharma told PTI that Rishabh Pant has confirmed his availability for the next Ranji match and will directly join the team in Rajkot. We want Virat Kohli to play as well, but we have not received his reaction. Harshit Rana has been selected in the Indian T20 team, so he will not be available. Pant and Virat have been included in Delhi's probable players, which is normal because the final decision has to be taken by these two players. Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal are also expected to play for their respective state teams.
