Nitish at risk of dominated out of the rest of Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy

The Hindu understands that the all-rounder underwent scans, which revealed ligament harm, and the BCCI medical group is at the moment monitoring the scenario earlier than making a choice about his future.

Nitish skipped the group’s go to to Manchester United FC, and in addition couldn’t be noticed within the elective follow session.

With the sequence on the road, this comes as an enormous blow. With Jasprit Bumrah’s workload in query, Arshdeep Singh struggling a minimize on his bowling hand and Akash Deep unlikely to achieve full health earlier than the fourth Test, starting on Wednesday, the Indian think-tank now faces a serious problem. Anshul Kamboj linked up with the group in Manchester on Sunday, after being named as a back-up for Arshdeep.

After sitting out of the series-opener in Leeds, Nitish performed the second and third Tests. Though he did not make an impression in Birmingham, with two runs and no wickets, he took essential wickets of Ben Duckett and Zake Crawley at Lord’s within the first innings, whereas dismissing Crawley once more within the second essay.

So far, India has performed a seam-bowling all-rounder, with Shardul Thakur taking part in the primary Test earlier than Nitish featured within the different two.
