Shivam Dube, currently part of the Indian team in T20 World Cup 2024 in West Indies, was initially not selected for upcoming IND vs ZIM T20I series. However, he has now been brought into the squad as a replacement for injured Nitish Reddy.
"The Men's Selection Committee named Shivam Dube as replacement for the injured Nitish Reddy in India’s squad for the upcoming tour of Zimbabwe. The BCCI Medical Team is monitoring Nitish Reddy’s progress," BCCI said in a statement.
