BCCI announced on its social media handle that all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy has been released from the first Test squad. He will join the India A team for ODI series against South Africa A in Rajkot and is expected to rejoin the main Test squad for the second Test after ODI series concludes.
Indian team assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate confirmed Reddy’s release and also revealed that wicketkeeper-batsman Dhruv Jurel will take his spot in the playing XI as a specialist batsman, with Rishabh Pant handling the wicketkeeping duties.
Jurel, already part of India’s Test squad, has made a strong case for inclusion, having scored centuries in both innings of the second unofficial Test against South Africa, as well as a century during the West Indies Test series. His consistent performances make him a key pick for Kolkata Test.
