One of the crucial developments with regard to the ongoing India versus England test series is likely to happen as the latest developments are suggesting that Nitish Kumar Reddy might be missing the rest of the series.
This is due to the fact that Nitish had injured his knee while practising for the upcoming test match against England and he is doubtful for the rest of the series.
If at all this happens, then the fitness maintenance of this young Indian all-rounder is going to be put under the microscope.
After the solid performance in the Australia test series, last year, everyone thought Nitish could be the next big thing in Indian test cricket. But he enjoyed himself shortly after that, and was away from Cricket for several months.
Finally, after his recovery, everyone thought he would be a crucial part of the England series now. However, the talented young player got himself injured after playing one single test match, and he is likely to be on the sidelines again.
More than talent and presence on field, it is fitness and match awareness which is most important for any young Indian cricketer. If at all Nitish finds himself in a position where he cannot be a part of the upcoming matches, then he needs to be blamed for his actions.
Training with adequate care and attention is important for any player, and Nitish must be exercising the same without fail. Or else if he ends up losing momentum every time he gets a place in the team, then there is a very good chance some other fitter player code grab the opportunity.
