Shivam Dube Replaces Injured Nitish Kumar Reddy For ODIs Against England
Nitish Kumar Reddy: Seam-bowling all-rounder Shivam Dube has been drafted into Indias squad as a replacement for injured Nitish Kumar Reddy for the upcoming three-match ODI series against England, starting on July 14 in Birmingham. Devajit Saikia, the Secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), said on Monday that Dube, currently in England for the five-match T20I series, will stay back for ODIs as Reddy continues to recover from a quadriceps injury. The Selection Committee has named Shivam Dube as a replacement for Nitish Kumar Reddy in Indias squad for the ODI series against England, said Saikia. Reddy sustained the injury during the third ODI against Afghanistan in Chennai, and a timeline for his return to competitive cricket is yet to be firmed up. Reddy's ongoing rehabilitation had previously ruled him out of the T20I series against Ireland and England, as well as the upcoming three-game series against Zimbabwe. Dube, a two-time T20 World Cup winner, has played four ODIs so far and amassed 43 runs while picking up one scalp. His last ODI game came against Sri Lanka at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo in August 2024. The Selection Committee has named Shivam Dube as a replacement for Nitish Kumar Reddy in Indias squad for the ODI series against England, said Saikia. Reddy sustained the injury during the third ODI against Afghanistan in Chennai, and a timeline for his return to competitive cricket is yet to be firmed up.
