India vs England, 2nd T20I: Rinku Singh, Nitish Kumar Reddy suffer injuries
Shivam Dube has been called up as cover for Nitish Kumar Reddy during the ongoing five-match T20I series. Reddy, who didn’t have to either bowl or bat in the first T20I which India won by seven wickets, has been ruled out of the entire five-match series with a side strain. Dube was last in action in the Ranji Trophy for Mumbai against Jammu and Kashmir.
“All-rounder Nitish Reddy sustained a side strain injury in the practice session on 24th January in Chennai. He is ruled out of the ongoing 5-match T20I series. Reddy will head to the BCCI Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru for further management,” read a statement from the BCCI.
