Dr abhay nene: Cricket News & Match Updates

Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Vice-captain Shubman Gill’s fitness and availability for India’s upcoming T20I series against South Africa, starting on December 9, will be in focus when the Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee convenes in Raipur on Wednesday, where the second ODI will be played, to finalise the 15-member squad.

Gill suffered a neck injury in the Kolkata Test against South Africa, where he had to retire hurt for four. Since then, he’s been out of action – having flown to Mumbai after being ruled out of the Guwahati Test to meet Dr Abhay Nene, and then went back to his hometown Chandigarh for further rest and recovery.

IANS understands that Gill has touched down at the BCCI Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru on Tuesday for further rehab. “The Indian team for the T20Is has to assemble on December 6, so the selectors have to select on Wednesday. As of now, Shubman’s status for playing in the T20I series is 50-50.”   Read More...
