Young India all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy will not be featuring in the remaining matches of the ongoing T20I series against England. Nitish was ruled out hours before the second match of the series due to an injury.

Though Reddy did get a chance to play in the series opener held in Kolkata, he neither got a chance to bat or bowl during the encounter.

Following the injury, former India cricketer Aakash Chopra stated that the all-rounder's body may not have been ready for the heavy workload.

'Nitish Kumar Reddy is injured. He has been ruled out of the entire series. You must be thinking, 'What would've happened?' I am wondering how this would have happened. When you start playing international cricket, the workload is different,' Chopra said on his YouTube channel.

Chopra also highlighted that Reddy featured in all the 5 Tests in the recently concluded Border-Gavaskar series and probably got injured due to the same.

'Workload and pressure go hand in hand. He played 5 Tests in Australia. He performed there. He was on the ground consistently. He batted and even bowled a little. It takes a toll. Believe it or not, he is a young kid. The body sometimes doesn't last that long,' Chopra said.

'Suddenly, you realise there is an injury. I think something has happened. Maybe the body wasn't ready for this type of workload and pressure, and he broke down. Shivam Dube has been called into the squad in place of Nitish Kumar Reddy,' Chopra added.
