2nd Test: ‘Quality All-rounder’ Nitish’s Development A Focus In Medium-term Plans, Says Ten Doeschate
Nitish Kumar Reddy: India assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate has reiterated the team’s long-term investment in seam-bowling all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy, calling him a ‘quality all-rounder’ whose development remains central to the set-up’s medium-term plans.
Returning to the side after a knee injury cut short his tour of England, Reddy had a limited role in India’s convincing victory over the West Indies by an innings and 140 runs in Ahmedabad - bowling only four overs in the first innings and didn’t get a chance to roll his arm over in the second essay. With India declaring their first innings on 448/5, it also meant that Nitish didn’t get a chance to bat.
Though ten Doeschate indicated that conditions may not favour a seam-heavy setup in New Delhi, especially with bright sunshine expected to wipe off all the moisture developed in the Arun Jaitley Stadium after two days of rain caused by a western disturbance, he was firm in saying that Nitish will be persisted with in the playing eleven.
