Injury Opens the Door for Suryansh Shedge's Maiden India Call-Up
The Indian team has suffered another injury setback ahead of the Ireland and England tour. Nitish Kumar Reddy has also suffered with an injury, as he would be ruled out of the series. In his place, the Indian team is likely to go with Suryansh Shedge, who did well for India A.
The Indian team has suffered a setback ahead of its upcoming T20I series against Ireland and England. Hardik Pandya, the team's key all-rounder, was ruled out of the series due to an injury he suffered at the BCCI CoE. And in his place, the BCCI thought of going with Nitish Kumar Reddy, who also played in the series against Afghanistan.
Now their plans to go with Nitish Kumar Reddy in the shortest format have also come to a halt. After the series against Afghanistan, Nitish Kumar Reddy has now suffered an injury, which will keep him out of the series against England and Ireland. This comes as a major setback for the Indian team, as both key all-rounders won't be available.
But it should be noted that one man's loss is another man's opportunity. And this time, Suryansh Shedge, who played for India A in the tri-series lately, is likely to get his chance for the Indian team in these two series.
Our Take
Suryansh Shedge will be delighted to get an opportunity to play for the Indian team. He was able to show some memorable performances for the team in the tri-series against Sri Lanka A and Afghanistan A. And now with the challenge getting higher, he will be relying on his skills and aggressive batting in the death overs, which could help him to make a name in the team.
