Indian players Rishabh Pant, Shikhar Dhawan and Navdeep Saini have confirmed their availability for the upcoming Vijay Hazare Trophy. The tournament is set to be played from September 24 to October 13. However, Pant’s ability to manage many matches is doubtful because of the upcoming Test series against South Africa from October 2. https://twitter.com/delhi_cricket/status/1173884720339279872?s=20 Saini and Dhawan haven’t been included in the team against Proteas, as far as the longer format is concerned. Pant is part of the three-match Test series which is the second series of Team India in the ICC world Test Championship. https://twitter.com/delhi_cricket/status/1173885416056901632?s=20 DDCA said in a tweet, “Rishabh Pant, Shikhar Dhawan and Navdeep Saini have confirmed their availability to play the Vijay Hazare Trophy.
