The five-match Test series between India and Australia under the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 will start from Perth from November 22. Before this series, Team India’s bowling coach Morne Morkel held a press conference, where he talked about many issues related to Team India and answered the questions of journalists.
During this, coach Morne Morkel also hinted at the debut of 21-year-old all-rounder Nitish Reddy in the Perth Test. Andhra Pradesh all-rounder Nitish has impressed with his performance in recent times.
Speaking in the pre-match press conference, Morne Morkel said about Reddy that he is one of the young players. All-rounders are capable. He is a player who can handle one end for us, especially for the first few days. Every team in the world wants an all-rounder who can help the fast bowlers. It will depend on Bumrah how he uses it. Definitely someone to keep an eye on in this series.
Apart from bowling fast, Nitish can also bat well and that is why the selection committee has given him priority over Shardul Thakur who returned after recovering from injury. This will be a great opportunity for Nitish to prove his ability. Delhi fast bowler Harshit Rana and Andhra all-rounder Nitish Reddy have been included for the first time in the 18-man Indian squad led by Rohit Sharma for the five-Test series against Australia.
