Jay Shah to keep eye on Rishabh Pant’s further treatment

The Delhi & District Cricket Association (DDCA) on Wednesday announced that further treatment of Indian cricketer Rishabh Pant will be taken care of by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).

Meanwhile, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and board secretary Jay Shah will keep a close eye on it.

“Pant’s further treatment will be taken care of by BCCI now. Jay Shah himself will keep a close eye on his treatment. If needed, the board will send him to the United Kingdom,” the DDCA official said.

Earlier DDCA said Rishabh Pant who is currently admitted to Max Hospital will be shifted to Mumbai for further treatment on Wednesday.

The Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) director Shyam Sharma on Wednesday said, “I have been in touch with his mother. We will shift him to Mumbai for further assistance with his ligament tear.”

Earlier on 30 December Rishabh Pant met with a car accident and was admitted to a private hospital in Dehradun.

Earlier on Tuesday Uttarakhand Director General of Police Ashok Kumar sought a detail who helped cricketer Rishabh Pant during the accident. The passerby who helped Rishabh during the accident were Haryana Roadways bus driver Sushil Kumar and conductor Paramjeet Nain.

“Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has already made an announcement regarding this,” the DGP said.

On the occasion of Republic Day, the driver and operator of Haryana Roadways will be honored.

“Uttarakhand government will honor the driver and the operator of Haryana Roadways, who saved the life of cricketer Rishabh Pant on 26 January,” CM Dhami said.

The Cricketer’s car rolled a couple of times in front of their eyes (after hitting a divider and going up in flames on the Delhi-Dehradun highway). The Haryana Roadways’ staff proved their mettle as they tackled the emergency situation.”

Earlier Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami also wished a speedy recovery to cricketer Rishabh Pant who met with an accident on the Delhi-Dehradun National Highway near Roorkee in Uttarakhand on Friday.
