New Delhi: The availability of India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant for the upcoming two Tests against the West Indies will be in focus when the Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee convenes to pick the squad on September 24. If by any chance he is unable to make the cut for the second Test against West Indies, then Pant being included for the Australia tour appears to be the next realistic target. Left-handed batter Devdutt Padikkal and seam-bowling all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy are also likely under consideration to be picked for the Test squad. The upcoming Test series between India and West Indies is a part of the 2025-27 ICC World Test Championship (WTC) cycle. India currently sits at third place on the WTC table after a 2–2 drawn series in England, while West Indies are placed sixth following three consecutive defeats.
