MUMBAI: Delhi's young wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant is all set to fly to England on Wednesday. Sources showed that Pant will likely be achieving England as a back-up for the Indian staff, while the improving Shikhar Dhawan will proceed to be part of the 15-member squad.

"Rishabh is just being called here in advance as standby so that he can acclimatise. If Dhawan can't continue, we'll seek an official go ahead from ICC for replacement and he (Rishabh) can immediately join the team," assets within the know stated.
Rishabh is anticipated to enroll in the staff in Nottingham at the eve of India's match towards New Zealand. However, he will not be part of the 15, as long as Shikhar isn't dominated out.

From apparels to his legit luggage, the whole lot has been handed over to Pant at his place of dwelling in Delhi.
As for Dhawan, the staff management is satisfied that the left-hander should be allowed time to get better even it comes at the price of lacking a couple of fits or more.

"The scans have confirmed a hairline fracture. Doctors have given a tentative healing period. But the healing process is individual-specific and you can't tell overnight if he's going to be fine in 10 days or 15 days or more. But what you can certainly do is wait for a week and take a more assertive call," assets within the know informed TOI.
"Look at it this way: Dhawan misses the matches against New Zealand and Pakistan but stays with the team. We get a fair idea of how he's recovering. If all's well, then we have a fully fit Dhawan towards the business end of the tournament and that's great. If not, we can always have the replacement ready. We've got to be careful with how we choose our cards," assets upload. "This is obviously a huge, unfortunate blow. But then, we've got to live with it."
Should every week's time disclose that Dhawan cannot proceed, Pant will stroll in to take KL Rahul's No. 4 slot while Rahul will open the innings with Rohit Sharma.
However, as of now, while Rahul will take Dhawan's place along Rohit, the staff management expects Hardik Pandya to bat up the order at No. 4 - like he did within the match towards Australia - while Dinesh Karthik will likely be offered within the batting line-up rather down the order.
