New Delhi. Every player’s dream is to play for his country. No doubt all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy is also toying with the same idea. But as soon as this player was included in Team India, another problem came to the fore. Nitish Reddy’s debut for India has been postponed due to this problem. Shivam Dubey has been included in the Indian team in his place.
The Indian cricket team will play the T20 series with Zimbabwe immediately after the T20 World Cup. A 5-match T20 series will be played between the two teams from July 6. Most of the seniors in the team have been rested for this series. Under the captaincy of Shubman Gill, most of the team members are young.
The young faces in the Indian squad include Nitish Reddy, Abhishek Sharma, Ryan Parag and Tusshar Deshpande. All these four have earned a place in Team India due to their brilliant performances in IPL 2024. But Nitish will not go on this journey now. Nitish was included in the Indian team for the first time.
BCCI has included Shivam Dubey in place of Nitish Reddy in the Indian squad to Zimbabwe. The Board of Cricket in India (BCCI) has said that Nitish is injured. The medical team will monitor his injury. According to Cricinfo, Nitish is suffering from hernia. Due to this reason he will not be able to tour Zimbabwe.
Indian Team: Shubman Gill (capt), Yashshwi Jaiswal, Ruturaj Gaekwad, Abhishek Sharma, Rinku Singh, Sanju Samson, Dhruv Jurel, Shivam Dubey, Ryan Parag, Washington Sundar, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan, Mukesh Kumar, Khalil Ahmed, Tusshar Deshpande.
