Shivam Dube Set To Join Indian Team In Rajkot For T20Is Against England As Reddy’s Replacement
Sharad Pawar MCA Cricket Academy: Seam-bowling all-rounder Shivam Dube will join India’s T20I squad for the ongoing five-match series against England after fellow all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy picked up an injury ahead of the second T20I to be played here on Saturday evening.
Sources in the BCCI told IANS that Reddy picked up a side strain during the Indian team’s practice session at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium on Friday and that the recovery time after the scans were done, is currently standing at three to four weeks.
As a result, the Indian team has now called up Dube to join the side ahead of the third T20I, to be held in Rajkot on January 28. Dube was part of India winning the 2024 Men’s T20 World Cup last year in the West Indies and the USA. He last played for India in August 2024, when the side was playing an ODI series in Sri Lanka.
