Former India captain and Delhi Capitals Director of Cricket Sourav Ganguly said on Thursday, November 9 that Rishabh Pant is in good shape and will be part of the team in the Indian Premier League 2024. Rishabh Pant joined the Delhi Capitals training camp in Kolkata but he will not train with the rest of his teammates during his stint in the early preparations for the next season.

Delhi Capitals are among the few teams who have started their training camps. A few of the Delhi Capitals players who are available for the camp began training at the Jadavpur University second Campus Cricket Association of Bengal ground in Saltlake, Kolkata. Rishabh Pant arrived in Kolkata on Thursday and he will be in the city until November 11, according to Ganguly.

Rishabh Pant has been leading Delhi Capitals since the start of the 2021 IPL season.

However, he was forced to sit out of IPl 2023 due to multiple injuries he picked up during a life-threatening road accident in December last year.

"Rishabh Pant is in good shape. He will play from next season. He will not practice now. He is here till 11th November. We had a discussion about the team with Pant as he is the captain of the team, considering the upcoming auctions," Sourav Ganguly told India Today in Kolkata,

Rishabh Pant looked comfortable as he took a walk around the ground in visuals from the training camp in Kolkata. The wicketkeeper-batter was not wearing any knee straps as he is on the road to attaining full fitness.

Pant is expected to return to competitive action early next year and there is speculation about his international return during a home Test series against England in early 2024.
