"Is Rishabh Pant Not Even A Candidate For Test Captaincy?": Ex-India Star Questions BCCI's Move

The BCCI on August 14 named the squads for the first round of Duleep Trophy 2024-25.

Pant has been picked in 'Team B' and it is interesting to note that he has not been named the captain of the side. Instead, Abhimanyu Easwaran has been assigned the duty to lead the team. Former India cricekter Aakash Chopra has questioned BCCI's move regarding that, as years ago Pant was seen as the successor of Rohit in Test captaincy.

Indian cricket team wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant scored 35 off 32 balls for Purani Dilli 6 in the Delhi Premier League (DPL) match against South Delhi Superstarz on Saturday.
