India all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy has been ruled out of the remainder of the series against England due to a knee injury, while injured pacer Arshdeep Singh will not be available for selection in the fourth Test, the BCCI has said.
Reddy, who featured in the second and third Tests, picked up the injury while training in the gym on Sunday with scans revealing ligament damage. “Nitish has been ruled out of the remaining two Tests owing to a left knee injury. He will fly back home and the team wishes him a speedy recovery,” the BCCI said in a press release.
Arshdeep, who is yet to feature in the series, sustained an impact injury on his left thumb while bowling in the nets during a training session in Beckenham last week. "The BCCI Medical Team is monitoring his progress,” the statement said.
Haryana seamer Anshul Kamboj has been added to the squad as a cover, and he has already joined the squad in Manchester.
The fourth Test is slated to begin at the Old Trafford on Wednesday. Hosts England lead the five-match Anderson Tendulkar Trophy 2-1.
India's updated squad for fourth Test: Shubman Gill (C), Rishabh Pant (VC & WK), Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudharsan, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Karun Nair, Ravindra Jadeja, Dhruv Jurel (WK), Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohd. Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Akash Deep, Kuldeep Yadav, Anshul Kamboj.
