Nitish Kumar Reddy has been selected in India’s 15-member squad for the upcoming three-match T20I series against Bangladesh. At the same time, former cricketer Aakash Chopra believes that Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) would like the seam-bowling all-rounder not to play any matches in the series so that they can retain him as an uncapped player before the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) mega auction. .

The first T20I match will be played on Sunday, October 6 at the newly-built Srimant Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium, Gwalior. Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dubey are already present in the team, due to which it may be difficult for young Reddy to get a chance. However, if India wins the first two matches and clinch the series, then 21-year-old Nitish Kumar Reddy can be given a debut in the final match to give him international cricket experience.

Aakash Chopra’s statement: “SRH would like Nitish Kumar Reddy to remain uncapped”

Aakash Chopra said in the video shared on his YouTube channel-

“They (SRH) would be praying that Nitish Kumar Reddy remains uncapped. They might be saying – ‘Please don’t play them in the T20I series.’ Just like Harshit Rana’s name is also in that team and if he gets a chance, he will also become a capped player.

Chopra expressed his opinion that SRH captain Pat Cummins, Abhishek Sharma, Heinrich Klaasen, and Travis Head could be the primary options for their capped retentions.

“Abhishek Sharma can go for Rs 10 to 18 crore in the auction” Akash Chopra

Aakash Chopra said, “Abhishek Sharma is a necessary retention. If Abhishek Sharma goes in the auction, he can go for Rs 10 to 18 crores. Therefore they should also be retained. Abhishek Sharma will be my second pick.”

After this, he also mentioned Heinrich Klaasen and Travis Head and said that SRH should retain both of them, because both of them cannot go for Rs 14 crore in the IPL auction, but their talent is considered very high.
