India’s Reddy misses remaining Tests due to injury

Nitish Kumar Reddy, an all-rounder for India, will have a knee injury that prevents them from playing in their Test series against England.

The 22-year-old will now fly home to begin his rehabilitation, according to a statement from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).

Arshdeep Singh, a seamer, will miss this week’s fourth Test against India because he was sidelined with a thumb injury.

The BBCI reported that Arshdeep’s left thumb was injured while playing bowling in a training session in Beckenham.

His progress is being monitored by the BCCI medical team.

Anshul Kamboj, an uncapped all-rounder, will be playing for India’s fourth Test at Old Trafford, which will begin on Wednesday.

Reddy went a wicketless and gave up one run in each of his innings in India’s euphoric victory over England at Edgbaston.

In their 2-1 victory at Lord’s last week, England went 2-1 up in the five-match series, he took three wickets for 82 and added 43 runs in both innings.

Left-arm quick Arshdeep hasn’t yet appeared in any of the three Tests.

In order to handle his workload, India will also need to consider whether fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah will play in Manchester.

Bumrah will participate in the first and third Tests, and he will play three matches in the series.

If Rishabh Pant’s finger injury, which he sustained at Lord’s, does not heal, he could play as a specialist batter. Dhruv Jurel could step up if necessary.
