Rishabh Pant has reportedly received medical clearance from the BCCI Centre of Excellence (CoE) and is now available for selection in the first Test between India and New Zealand.

The Indian wicketkeeper is scheduled to leave for Wellington on November 12 to join the Indian squad. His return is a big relief for the Indian team management ahead of the WTC Test series.
