IND vs ENG: BCCI confirms Nitish Reddy ruled out of Series, Another player also Out

India's squad for the upcoming fourth Test against England has seen key changes due to injury setbacks.

BCCI has confirmed on Monday that promising all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy has been sidelined for the remainder of the two-Test series after sustaining a left knee injury.

Reddy, who injured his knee during a gym session, will now return to India for rehabilitation. He played the last two Tests and scored 45 runs across four innings, along with 3 wickets in the Lord's Test as well.

In another blow to the squad, left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh has been ruled out of the fourth Test, scheduled to take place in Manchester from Wednesday (July 23). Arshdeep suffered an impact injury to his left thumb during a net session in Beckenham while practicing with the team. The incident occurred while he was bowling, and the BCCI's medical team is currently monitoring his condition and overseeing his recovery process.

In response to these developments, India has drafted Anshul Kamboj into the squad. Kamboj has since linked up with the team in Manchester and is expected to bolster the squad's bowling options ahead of the crucial Test.

With the fourth Test just around the corner, the likes of Rishabh Pant and Akash Deep are still doubtful. The duo are being assessed and a decision will be taken on Tuesday (July 22). The visitors are trailing the series 1-2 and the upcoming encounter will be crucial for them. Amid the injury woes, Jasprit Bumrah is set to play in Manchester. The pace star has been a subject of careful workload management, but he is expected to play in the upcoming match.
