ENG vs IND: After being ruled out of the first Test played in Leeds, Reddy played the second and third Test matches. However, he could not make much of an impact in the Edgbaston Test. He scored only 2 runs and could not take any wicket. There was a slight improvement in his performance in the Lord’s Test. In the first innings, Reddy dismissed both England openers Ben Duckett and Jack Crowley in the same over and in the second innings too, he sent Crowley to the pavilion. In batting, he played useful innings of 30 and 13 runs.
ENG vs IND: Reddy was also expected to play in the fourth Test. But now the whole team has suffered a setback due to this injury. Winning the Manchester Test is very important for the Indian team to remain in the series. In such a situation, the morale of the rest of the team will also be affected due to the injuries of the players.
The BCCI has not yet officially confirmed Reddy’s exclusion from the series. It will be interesting to see whether any player is made part of the team as a cover in case he is out.
