The wicketkeeper-batter, who fractured his right foot during the fourth Test against England in Manchester on July 23, has spent the past few days consulting specialists. While the details of the assessment are still awaited, it appears that Pant (27), one of the finest batters across formats, is targeting India’s next home series against…

England’s one-day international cricket has been a grim watch for quite some time – so thank heavens for Sunday in Southampton.They scored 414-5 and then rolled South Africa for 72. The 342-run victory was not just England’s biggest by runs in men’s ODIs but the biggest by runs in men’s ODIs. The problem is that this win came after the series had been lost with a hammering at Leeds and a narrow defeat in Lord’s giving the Proteas an unassailable 2-0 lead.

That Rinku was told…
