Team India suffered a big setback before the Manchester Test, this all-rounder is out

The series of injuries in the Indian team is not stopping before the Manchester Test. After Arshdeep Singh, all-rounder Nitish Kumar has been ruled out of the England tour due to injury. He has been ruled out of the series against England due to a knee injury during a gym session.

The young all-rounder got injured during gym training on Sunday. He was then scanned, and what was found was quite a lot of damage to the ligament. Nitish Kumar's injury has been a huge setback for the Indian team's preparation.

The Indian side is 1-2 down in the five-match series. The side is already concerned with the availability of Arshdeep Singh and Akash Deep, who have been injured. Both the pace bowlers are virtually certain to miss the Manchester Test, which is scheduled to begin on July 23.

Under such circumstances, the team management has brought Haryana pacer Anshul Kamboj to England as a standby. He would join the team shortly. Regarding Nitish Kumar Reddy, he could not get a spot in India's playing XI at Headingley.

However, the management included him in the team for the next Test at Edgbaston, which India won by 336 runs. Reddy was not very impressive in the second Test, scoring only 2 runs in 6 overs and could not take a single wicket.

However, in the Lord's Test, the all-rounder showed great bowling and dismissed England openers Ben Duckett and Jack Crowley in the same over in the first innings. At the same time, he could not do wonders in batting. His slow innings while chasing the target were heavily criticized.
