The Indian team has got a big relief before the fourth match of the five -match T20 series against England. Star batsman Rinku Singh has fit and will be available for selection for the next match. This was confirmed by India’s assistant coach Ryan Ten Doshet.
Rinku Singh’s return to the team strengthened
Rinku Singh was rested in the second and third T20 matches due to back cramps. He played in the first match, but was dropped from the team due to injury after that. He is now fully fit after being under the supervision of the Medical Team of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
Assistant Coach Ten Doshet said in the press conference:
“Rinku is now fit. He has practiced batting well and I think he will be ready for Friday match. ”
However, Rinku Singh is not in his best form. In IPL 2024, he got a chance to play 70 balls for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), and he missed out on making a place in the T20 World Cup team.
Nitish Kumar Reddy out of the series
Meanwhile, Nitish Kumar Reddy is out due to Side Strain injury, and he is advised to return the Andhra Cricket Association (ACA) for further treatment.
