Delhi: Nitish Kumar Reddy performed brilliantly in his first Test series against Australia, due to which he was praised a lot. His struggling century in Melbourne further strengthened his identity. Now this young batsman is ready to make a comeback in domestic cricket and he can play in the second phase of 2023-24 Ranji Trophy.
Nitish will play for Andhra Pradesh
According to PTI, Nitish played only one match in the current Ranji season, but after his excellent performance on the Australia tour, he may feature in two important matches for the Andhra Pradesh team in late January. Andhra will play matches against Puducherry on 23 January and Rajasthan on 30 January. Both these matches are very important for their team, because Andhra is currently ranked seventh in the Group B table, they have only four points and they have lost three out of five matches.
In the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia, Nitish showed great patience in difficult situations. His century in the Melbourne Test was memorable, in which he bravely faced the Australian bowlers and put the team in a strong position.
The handsome and famous Vijay Hazare will play in the trophy
Meanwhile, some players who were part of the Test tour of Australia are going to play for their respective states in the knockout stage of Vijay Hazare Trophy.
Prasidh Krishna, Devdutt Padikkal and Washington Sundar will be available for their state teams in the knockout matches starting from January 11 in Vadodara.
Prasidh, who had a brilliant performance in Sydney by taking 6 wickets, can play for Karnataka. Padikkal will also play for Karnataka if the team reaches the quarter-finals. Whereas, Washington Sundar will join the Tamil Nadu team, if the team reaches the quarter-finals.
