Nitish Kumar Reddy Replacement: Even before the start of India’s tour of Ireland, BCCI has announced the replacement of Nitish Kumar Reddy. Suryansh Shedge, who made a splash in the tri-series played on Sri Lanka tour with India A, has been included in Team India in place of Nitish Kumar Reddy. Suryansh Shedge is also a pace all-rounder like Nitish Kumar Reddy. Apart from the Ireland tour, Suryansh Shedge will also remain in Team India in the white ball series played on the England tour. This means that Nitish Kumar Reddy will not play in the white ball series even on the England tour after the T20 series to be held in Ireland.

Suryansh had scored 147 runs with 6 sixes in Sri Lanka.

Temperamental all-rounder Suryashan Shedge was recently a part of the India A team that won the tri-series in Sri Lanka. He scored 147 runs in the 5 matches played there, which included 6 sixes and 6 fours. During this period his best score was 72 runs. Suryansh Shedge was also the batsman who hit the second most number of sixes after Vaibhav Suryavanshi in the tri-series played in Sri Lanka. Apart from making a mark with the bat, Shedge also took 2 wickets in the tri-series played in Sri Lanka.

What did BCCI say on Nitish Reddy and Suryansh Shedge?

BCCI, while giving information about the injury of Nitish Kumar Reddy in its statement, informed about Suryansh Shedge’s joining Team India. BCCI said that Nitish had suffered a quadriceps injury in the third T20 against Afghanistan, after which he will undergo rehab. Nitish will remain out of Ireland and England tour. In such a situation, the Indian selectors have included Suryansh Shedge in the team in his place.
