kolkata: With ShubmanGill’s participation in the second Test highly unlikely, all-rounder Nitish Reddy has been taken out of the ongoing India A series against South Africa A in Rajkot.
As per BCCI sources, Gill will be flying with the team to Guwahati although with the amount of stiffness on the nape of his neck, chances of him playing the second Test looks bleak.
In case Gill cannot make it to Guwahati he will travel to BCCI COE in Bengaluru from Kolkata as there are no restrictions on flying. In the case of Reddy, the third and final List A match is scheduled for Wednesday. But the Andhra batting all-rounder reached Kolkata on Monday evening but did not take part in the day’s net session.
It is understood that it would have been difficult for Reddy to play on Wednesday night in Rajkot and then take a connecting flight the next day to Guwahati.
