Team India suffered twin injury blows ahead of the crucial fourth Test against England at Old Trafford. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed on Monday that fast-bowling all-rounder Nitish Reddy has been ruled out of the series due to a knee injury. Meanwhile, pacer Arshdeep Singh is set to miss the Manchester Test after injuring his thumb during a training session. These injuries are a major setback for India.

Nitish Reddy felt pain in his knee during a gym workout, and scans later showed a ligament injury. Arshdeep injured his thumb during net practice in Beckenham. Both will be monitored by the BCCI’s medical team. Akash Deep is also ruled out due to a groin injury.
