On Tuesday, the Indian men's senior selection committee, chaired by Ajit Agarkar, will meet in Guwahati to pick India's squad for the one-off Test and three ODIs against Afghanistan next month.
According to the report, the selectors are likely to take a call on Pandya's workload management and then go ahead with the Indian team management's desires.
Nitish Kumar Reddy's seam bowling capabilities are likely to earn him a spot for the limited-overs tour to Ireland and England later this year.
This development also raises significant questions about Pandya's future in the 50-over format. He has not played ODIs since the Champions Trophy in March last year.
Nitish Kumar Reddy's India career
Nitish Kumar Reddy originally gained attention via his all-round performances in IPL 2024, when he won the Emerging Player Award in SRH's runner-up campaign.
In 2025, he debuted in ODIs as well. Nitish Reddy has played 10 Tests, 4 ODIs and 4 T20Is for India.
In ODIs, he has made just 100 runs at an average of 33.33, but managed a fifty in his most recent match - against New Zealand in January. He is yet to take a wicket in the format.
In his most recent T20I, he did not get to bat or bowl and was eventually dropped from the side altogether. He was not a part of the Asia Cup or the World Cup won by India in this format in 2025 and 2026, respectively.
Nitish Kumar Reddy in IPL 2026
As mentioned by the Times of India, the reason the selectors and the Indian team management are keen to include Nitish Reddy in the ODI team is his relatively improved bowling show in IPL 2026.
In IPL 2026, he has made 235 runs at a strike rate of 163 with one half-century. He has also taken 7 wickets at an economy of 10.75, improving his numbers from last year in all aspects.
