The Test series against Bangladesh was where the 25-year-old Pant last played. In India's triumph in Mirpur, he scored 93. He was supposed to report to the NCA for strength and conditioning treatment prior to the Test series against Australia that was set to start on February 9, but he was not included in the squads for the white-ball series against Sri Lanka.
