The BCCI has confirmed that Nitish Kumar Reddy has been ruled out of the entire series due to a side strain. The highly-rated allrounder sustained the injury during a practice session in Chennai on Friday (January 24). Reddy will now be heading to the BCCI Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru for further management.
The BCCI delivered a promising update on the batsman, stating: "He is progressing well and the BCCI medical team is monitoring him closely. He is ruled out of the 2nd and 3rd games of the ongoing 5-match T20I series."
Both Reddy and Rinku had played the first T20I at the Eden Gardens this week. However, neither of them got the chance to bat in the game as India registered a comfortable 7-wicket win. With both the players sidelined, the selection committee has named their replacement.
On the other hand, Ramandeep made his T20I debut during the series in South Africa last November. The allrounder played two games in that four-match series.
India's updated squad for the T20I series against England:
Suryakumar Yadav (C), Axar Patel (VC), Sanju Samson (WK), Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, Harshit Rana, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammad Shami, Varun Chakravarthy, Ravi Bishnoi, Washington Sundar, Dhruv Jurel (WK), Shivam Dube, Ramandeep Singh.
