Aakash Chopra says selectors have moved on from Pant in ODIs

Aakash Chopra says selectors have decided Rishabh Pant is no longer part of India's ODI plans despite his Test importance.

Aakash Chopra believes Indian selectors have made up their mind about Rishabh Pant's immediate future in white-ball cricket. Pant was left out of the ODI squad for the upcoming West Indies series despite being named captain of the Rest of India side for the Irani Cup.

Chopra said Pant remains important in Test cricket but his position in the ODI setup appears to have changed. Dhruv Jurel has been preferred as the second-choice wicketkeeper-batter behind KL Rahul, edging Pant out of white-ball plans.

The three-match ODI series against the West Indies begins in Thiruvananthapuram on September 27. Shubman Gill will lead the side, while Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli return to the 15-member squad.
