Shivam Dubey, who was a flop in the Ranji Trophy, has been given a chance in the team instead. Shivam Dubey could not open his account in both innings of the match against Jammu and Kashmir. But his selection in the team is surprising. According to PTI reports, Nitish Kumar Reddy has a side strain. Therefore, it will take him a few weeks to recover.
Therefore, it seems difficult for him to make a comeback in the series. However, it is unclear when and where he got injured. Nitish had played his first match in Kolkata. This time, he did not get a chance to bowl and bat. Therefore, it is believed that he must have been injured during practice.
