Team India has suffered a setback due to injuries to players before the fourth Test against England. Nitish Reddy has also been ruled out due to injury. Jasprit Bumrah's return is considered certain, as the fast bowling department has become weak.
The fourth match of the ongoing Test series between India and England will be played at Old Trafford ground in Manchester from July 23. However, Team India has suffered many setbacks before the match. Injuries to the players have become a cause of concern for the team. Rishabh Pant was injured on the first day of the Lord's Test. At the same time, fast bowler Akashdeep is suffering from back pain. Meanwhile, Arshdeep Singh has got stitches after being hit by a ball in his hand during practice. Now the latest setback has come in the form of an injury to all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy.
Injury while doing gym
It is reported that he suffered a serious knee injury while doing gym, due to which his ligaments have torn. Due to this, he will not be able to play both of the upcoming Test matches. This situation has posed a challenge for coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Shubman Gill to select the playing eleven. Jasprit Bumrah, who had to play only three Tests due to workload management, has played two matches so far. It was expected that he would be rested in the Manchester Test and Arshdeep Singh could get a chance to debut. But Arshdeep has also become doubtful due to injury.
Question on Akashdeep's fitness
There are questions on the fitness of Akashdeep, who was the hero of the victory at Edgbaston. Now with Nitish Reddy out, it is certain that Bumrah will have to enter the field again so that India's bowling attack remains balanced. Mohammad Siraj has also not been able to get rest till now, although he has played the first three matches.
Shardul Thakur can be included in place of Reddy, but who will be the third fast bowler has now become the biggest question. According to reports, Anshul Kamboj has been added to the team as a cover player, although the BCCI has not confirmed it.
