BENGALURU (Reuters) -Rishabh Pant will make his return to India's squad for the two-test series against South Africa, the country's cricket board announced on Wednesday, marking his comeback from a foot fracture that sidelined him from the series against West Indies.

Pant missed the 2-0 series drubbing of West Indies last month after fracturing his foot during a test match against England in September, with Dhruv Jurel stepping in to keep wickets.
