The BCCI announced on Sunday that flamboyant wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant had been unexpectedly dropped from the Indian ODI team for the three-match series against Bangladesh.

After consulting with the BCCI medical staff, Pant was discharged, and no replacement has been sought.

“Rishabh Pant has been dropped from the ODI team after consulting with the BCCI Medical Team. Prior to the Test series, he will join the group. No one has looked for a replacement, “said in a press release by the BCCI.

Axar Patel, a left-arm spinning all-rounder, was not available for the opening ODI. Axar was hit while swinging at the nets and is currently being treated for a bruised rib, according to sources. The 25-year-old Pant was released without explanation, but he was the only first team all-format player who did not receive a break after the T20 World Cup in Australia last month.

Pant travelled to New Zealand with the team for a combined six-match limited overs series, while players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma were rested following India’s quarterfinal loss to England in the T20 showpiece.

After the three ODIs, India will play two Test matches in Bangladesh.

Pant has delivered some solid performances in ODIs this year. In 12 games and 10 innings this year, he has scored 336 runs at an average of 37.33, with one century and two fifties and best score of 125*.
