Sharad Pawar MCA Cricket Academy: Shivam Dube has been named as Nitish Kumar Reddy’s replacement for the ongoing T20I series against England, while Ramandeep Singh has been called up for second and third matches as a cover for injured Rinku Singh.

IANS had previously reported that Dube was to join the T20I team ahead of the third T20I in Rajkot on January 28 as Reddy’s replacement after the latter picked up a side strain during the Indian team’s practice session at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Friday and that the recovery time, after the scans were done, is expected to be three to four weeks.

Now the Board of Control of Cricket in India (BCCI) has confirmed that Reddy is ruled out of the ongoing series due to the side strain and will head to the BCCI Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru for further management.
