Capping an eventful day in the world of cricket, here we take a look at five of the biggest cricketing news that emerged out of Wednesday, July 23.

Rishabh Pant Carried Off The Field Due To Injury On Day 1

Indian wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant suffered a nasty injury on Day 1 of the fourth Test against England at Old Trafford in Manchester. When the cricketer reached 37* off 48 balls during the final session of the day, he sustained a blow on his foot while attempting an unconventional reverse sweep off fast bowler Chris Woakes. Pant subsequently complained of severe pain and was attended by Team India physio.

He was even stretchered off the field, prompting Ravindra Jadeja to replace him in the middle. With Pant’s 37*, and half-centuries from Yashasvi Jaiswal and comeback man Sai Sudharsan, Team India reached 264-4 by stumps.

Rajat Patidar Set To Miss Duleep Trophy 2025

RCB captain and Madhya Pradesh batter Rajat Patidar will likely miss the upcoming 2025 season of Duleep Trophy. The cricketer is yet to recover from the hand injury he sustained during the IPL 2025 season a couple of months ago. 

According to a TOI report, Patidar is currently rehabilitating from his hand and heel injuries. As he continues to participate in Madhya Pradesh’s off-season training camp, the BCCI medical team has advised the 32-year-old to take a rest in a bid to attain full fitness ahead of the 2025-26 Ranji Trophy season.
