He just recovered from in injury 

Rishabh Pant, on Day 1 of the ongoing Test match at Old Trafford, came to bat and started to play with his familiar batting style. He played some unorthodox shots before deciding to go more adventurous against England pacer Chris Woakes. The delivery from Woakes landed on Pant's right foot and left the left-handed batter in pain. Later, he was driven away from the field. 

In the previous match too, the keeper batter received an injury. Then he injured his finger while trying to stop a delivery from Jasprit Bumrah. In that match at Lord's, Pant had to leave the field, and Jurel came to replace him for the keeping work. Rishabh batted in the second innings but was in clear discomfort. After recovering from the finger injury, he came to participate in the 4th game of the series.
