It’s been very hard on Pant not playing: India assistant coach Doeschate

DUBAI: India assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate has acknowledged that it’s been really hard for ace wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant to be watching the ongoing Champions Trophy matches from the sidelines but “that’s the nature of sport at this level”.

Pant has not been a part of the playing XI in the last two group games, with India handing over the wicket-keeping duties to KL Rahul, who has performed remarkably well behind the stumps and provided solidity to the middle order.

“It’s been very hard on Rishabh not playing. But that’s the nature of sport at this level, Doeschate told reporters on Friday, when asked if having two quality keepers has been a good dilemma.
