Reddy ruled out of third ODI and first three T20Is with quad injury

India allrounder Nitish Kumar Reddy has been ruled out of the third One-Day International against Australia and the first three Twenty20 Internationals after sustaining a left quadriceps injury during the second ODI in Adelaide, the Board of Control for Cricket in India said. The injury, and a subsequent complaint of neck spasms that has affected his recovery, left Reddy unavailable for selection for the Sydney fixture on October 25 and prompted the BCCI medical team to monitor him daily.

Reddy, 22, was struck down when he was stumped off Adam Zampa in the 45th over of India’s innings in Adelaide on October 23. He made his ODI debut earlier in the series, scoring an unbeaten 19 from 11 balls in Perth, but managed just eight in Adelaide and was wicketless with the ball across the two matches. Following the toss in Sydney, the BCCI posted that Reddy “sustained a left quadriceps injury during the second ODI in Adelaide and was subsequently unavailable for selection for the third ODI. The BCCI Medical Team is monitoring him on a daily basis.”
