Indian wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant has been passed fit to play in the Indian Premier League (IPL) after a 14-month absence from cricket.

26-year-old Pant has not played since being injured in a serious car accident in December 2022.

It has been confirmed that Pant will play for Delhi Capitals in the upcoming IPL season, which starts on 22 March.
