Shivam Dube set to replace injured Reddy for remainder of T20I series vs England
Mumbai, Jan 25 (PTI): Mumbai all-rounder Shivam Dube is set to be recalled in the Indian squad for the last three T20 Internationals against England as rising star Nitish Kumar Reddy is expected to be out due to an unspecified injury.
He is expected to link up with the national squad before their third T20I in Rajkot on January 28.
Dube, who last played for India during the series against Sri Lanka in July last year, had a layoff due to back injury and recently returned to domestic cricket after rehabilitation.
The 31-year-old didn't find a place in the squad against England because of Reddy's recent exploits, and despite bagging a "pair" (duck in both innings) against Jammu and Kashmir in his comeback first-class game, he had some silver lining after a frustrating outing.
The big-hitter has so far played 33 T20Is in which he has scored 448 runs at a strike rate of nearly 135 and picked up 11 wickets with his military medium pace bowling.

Trump says he ‘hasn’t even thought about’ continuing Iran ceasefire
Washington: US President Donald Trump has said he has not yet considered whether he would continue the ceasefire involving Iran, while also claiming the United States holds the advantage in negotiations.
Speaking to reporters, Trump said he was prepared to make a deal with “whoever is running the show” in Iran.
“They are fighting with each other, there’s tremendous infighting. They’re probably fighting for leadership in many cases. I think they’re fighting not to be leader because we knocked out two levels of leaders,” he said.
Trump added, “When they want they can call me. We have all the cards, we’ve won everything.”
Referring to ongoing negotiations, he said, “They gave us a paper that should’ve been better. And, interestingly, immediately when I cancelled it [envoy trip to Pakistan], within 10 minutes we got a new paper that was much better.”
“We talked about they will not have a nuclear weapon, very simple … They offered a lot, but not enough,” he added.
When asked whether he would continue the ceasefire, Trump replied, “I haven’t even thought about it.”
The remarks come as uncertainty remains over the future of the temporary truce and broader negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
