Suryansh Shedge Replaces Nitish Kumar Reddy for T20I Series Against Ireland and England
Suryansh Shedge 取代 Nitish Kumar Reddy 出戰對愛爾蘭與英格蘭的 T20I 系列賽
Introduction
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has named Suryansh Shedge as the replacement for Nitish Kumar Reddy. Reddy is unable to play in the upcoming T20I series against Ireland and England due to medical reasons.
印度板球管制委員會 (BCCI) 已提名 Suryansh Shedge 取代 Nitish Kumar Reddy。Reddy 因醫療原因，無法參加即將到來的對愛爾蘭與英格蘭 T20I 系列賽。
Main Body
Nitish Kumar Reddy was excluded from the team after a medical check revealed discomfort in his left quadriceps following a match against Afghanistan on June 20. Consequently, the BCCI Medical Team has ordered a recovery period, which means Reddy will miss the two-match series in Belfast and the five-match series in England. This situation is more challenging because Hardik Pandya is also absent, leaving the squad with a shortage of fast-bowling all-rounders. Furthermore, Reddy has a history of frequent injuries, such as hernia and knee issues, which might affect his availability for the ODI part of the tour.
Nitish Kumar Reddy 在 6 月 20 日對陣阿富汗後，醫療檢查發現其左股四頭肌不適，因此被排除在球隊之外。因此，BCCI 醫療團隊要求其進入康復期，這意味著 Reddy 將缺席在貝爾法斯特的兩場系列賽以及在英格蘭的五場系列賽。由於 Hardik Pandya 同時缺陣，導致球隊缺乏快投全能球員，使情況更加棘手。此外，Reddy 過去有頻繁受傷的紀錄，例如疝氣和膝蓋問題，這可能會影響他之後 ODI 部分的出賽可能性。
Suryansh Shedge, a 23-year-old batting all-rounder from Mumbai, has joined the squad after several strong performances. His selection was based on his success with the India A team in Sri Lanka, where he scored 147 runs and bowled 23 overs. Additionally, Shedge performed well during the 2024-25 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and the 2026 IPL season with the Punjab Kings. The selection committee wants to see if Shedge can be an effective 'impact player' in the lower-middle order, a role he has successfully played before under captain Shreyas Iyer.
Suryansh Shedge 是一位來自孟買的 23 歲擊球全能球員，在多次強勢表現後加入了球隊。他的入選是基於他在印度 A 隊於斯里蘭卡比賽時的成功表現，當時他取得了 147 分並投球 23 局。此外，Shedge 在 2024-25 年的 Syed Mushtaq Ali 獎盃賽以及 2026 年代表 Punjab Kings 出戰的 IPL 賽季中表現優異。選拔委員會希望確認 Shedge 能否在下中段擊球線擔任有效的「影響球員」(impact player)，他在隊長 Shreyas Iyer 領導下曾成功扮演此角色。
Conclusion
India will start its T20I series against Ireland on June 26 in Belfast, with a new squad that includes Shedge and possibly Vaibhav Sooryavanshi.
印度隊將於 6 月 26 日在貝爾法斯特開始對愛爾蘭的 T20I 系列賽，新陣容包括 Shedge 以及可能的 Vaibhav Sooryavanshi。
