Wicketkeeper batter Rishabh Pant is set to return to India 's Test squad for the two-match series against South Africa beginning on November 14 in Kolkata.

ESPNcricinfo has learned the selection meeting took place on Wednesday and Pant's inclusion for N Jagadeesan is likely to be the only change. Pant had missed India's previous Test series against West Indies as he was recovering from the foot fracture he suffered during the fourth Test against England in Manchester in July.

He proved his match fitness by captaining India A to victory in the first four-day game against South Africa A at the BCCI's centre of excellence in Bengaluru last week. Pant made 90 in the second innings as India A chased down a target of 275.
