The BCCI announced a change to India’s squad for the upcoming tour of Zimbabwe, replacing injured all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy with Shivam Dube. Reddy, who earned his first India call-up following a strong IPL season, will miss out due to an undisclosed injury. The decision was confirmed by the BCCI without specifying the nature of Reddy’s injury.
