On Sunday India allrounder Nitish Kumar Reddy suffered the Knee injury while training in the gym. He is set to be ruled out of the remaining of the tour of England. During the training in the gym, Reddy picked up the injury on Sunday with scans revealing ligament damage.India’s preparations for the fourth Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy in Manchester is going on which starts on July 23, with fast bowlers Arshdeep Singh and Akash Deep also nursing injuries that could keep them out of the match. As a seam-bowling replacement Anshul Kamboj has been added to the India’s squad.
Due to workload-management concerns limiting Jasprit Bumrah to just three out of the five Tests of the series, all this decision came. Jasprit Bumrah played the first and third Tests, and India have indicated that they are “leaning towards” including Bumrah at Old Trafford, with the players getting an eight-day break between the third and fourth Tests.
Nitish Reddy played in the second and third Tests, but did not make much of an impact. He was sitting out the series-opener match in Leeds. At Lord’s he took crucial top-order wickets, sending back England openers Ben Duckett and Zak crawley in the same over in the first innings, and dismissing Crawley again in the second, while scoring 30 and 13 with the bat.
England lead the series 2-1 going into the fourth Test.
