The T20 World Cup 2024 winner has confirmed his availability for the Ranji Trophy 2024-25 which will resume on January 23. Delhi will play against Saurashtra in Rajkot. The match will start on January 23. The Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) secretary, Ashok Sharma confirmed his availability for the upcoming game.
“Yes, Pant has confirmed his availability for next Ranji game and will join the squad in Rajkot directly,” Sharma told PTI. “About Virat Kohli, we want him to play but we haven’t heard from him, while Harshit Rana is selected in the T20 squad [for the England games] and hence is unavailable.”
On the other hand, Pant has not been included for the five-match T20I series against England later this month. However, he is expected to play ODI matches against the Three Lions, followed by Champions Trophy 2025 in February
