DDCA statement

A ligament is a fibrous tissue that connects bones and can take time to heal when severely damaged. Therefore, the DDCA and Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) are closely monitoring Pant's injury and have made the decision to transfer him to a hospital in Mumbai to ensure he receives the best treatment possible.

The 24-year-old has been a vital member of the Indian cricket team, with his outstanding performances in recent times, both behind the wickets and with the bat.

Pant had returned from Dubai after celebrating Christmas and was on his way to Roorkee when the accident occurred. The incident has been a reminder of the dangers of reckless driving and the importance of taking proper precautions while traveling.

In conclusion, the transfer of Rishabh Pant to Mumbai for his ligament treatment is a significant step toward ensuring his full recovery. The cricketing community hopes for a speedy recovery for Pant and looks forward to seeing him back on the field soon.
