Injuries continue to ravage the Indian cricket team in the current T20i series against England. There are already doubts about whether Mohammed Shami, after missing the first game to won the hosts in Kolkata, will be available for the second game in Chennai on Saturday. In the midst of this, BCCI said that the fast bowling all-rounder Nitish Reddy has not recovered from an injury. In his place, Shivam Dube, member of the Indian team who won the T20 World Cup in 2024, has been called.
Dube could be seen in the recent Ranji Trophy match between Mumbai and Jammu and Kashmir, who lost the first. Dube was ignored for the T20i series against England. After the World Cup victory, Dube traveled to Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka for the T20i series, but was ignored for the subsequent home games against Bangladesh and the exit through South Africa.
Rinku Singh is also excluded from the second and third T20Is.
“Allrounder Nitish Reddy sustained a side injury during the practice session on January 24 in Chennai. He is excluded from the current T20i series of five games. Reddy will go to the BCCI Center of Excellence in Bengaluru for further management,” said the BCCI.
“Rinku Singh ran into a cramp in his lower back while playing in the 1st T20i against England on January 22. He is making good progress and the medical team of BCCI is closely monitoring him. He is excluded from the 2nd and 3rd game of the running five games.
“The senior selection committee has included Shivam Dube and Ramandep Singh in the selection.”
“What happened to Shivam Dube? I also wanted to talk about Ruturaj (Gaikwad), but he can't take his place. Rajat Patidar is there too. There is clearly a lot of beating. But now I'm going to do that focus a bit on Shivam DUBE.
“If you win, everyone must get the honor. He even played quite well in the final. There were certainly a few questions for that he did not play or hit well. But then he played well and became the T20 world cup champion.”
Nitish Reddy recently made a great test debut in the Border Gavaskar Trophy, who ended earlier this month and scored a ton on the Melbourne cricket field.
Chopra also thought that Dube earned a longer rope in the team, especially because the left -handed person played a crucial role in the victory of the T20 World Cup in India.
“After that he remained a bit injured, did not get too many opportunities and now lies out of the team. Nobody is talking about him either. Riyan Parag is not spoken because he was injured, but no one asks where Duube has gone He suddenly disappeared from the horizon, “Chopra wondered.
