Rishabh Pant might make his Test debut if India's training session routine at Trent Bridge is any indication. 

According to ESPNCricinfo, Rishabh Pant was seen batting in the nets after all the specialist batsmen had finished their rounds. Dinesh Karthik, who kept wicket for India in the first two Tests, was seen feeding balls to Pant during the wicketkeeping drills, said the reports.

Karthik has had a miserable time with the bat in both the Tests scoring just 21 runs in four innings with two ducks. 

However, there has been no confirmation about Pant's inclusion in the team. 

“About Rishabh, you will know 11 am day after,” Ravi Shastri, head coach of the Indian cricket team said. 

Meanwhile, former Indian cricketer Dilip Vengsarkar thinks that India should rope in Rishabh Pant in place of Dinesh Karthik.

In conversation with BBC Radio, Vengsarkar was quoted, "Rishabh Pant should get in. Apart from Kohli, nobody has shown that they could score runs here. Whether it's English or Australian conditions, you have to adapt quickly. You have to apply yourself and get runs."

India will be facing the England in the 3rd Test at Trent Bridge in Nottingham starting from August 18.
