NEW DELHI: India suffered a setback ahead of the T20I series against Australia as all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy was ruled out of the first three matches due to fitness concerns.

Reddy, who had been recovering from a left quadriceps injury sustained during the second ODI in Adelaide, recently complained of neck spasms, which have affected his recovery and overall mobility.

The BCCI Medical Team is closely monitoring his condition and will take a call on his availability for the remainder of the series based on his progress over the coming days.

The 22-year-old has been on the sidelines off and on in the past one year due to various injuries.
