India all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy has been ruled out of the upcoming T20I series against Ireland due to a quadriceps injury, with growing concerns that the setback could also rule him out of the subsequent white-ball tour of England.
According to BCCI sources, the 23-year-old seam-bowling all-rounder is currently being monitored, but his availability for the next assignment remains uncertain following the latest fitness issue.
The injury continues a difficult run of fitness problems for the youngster, who has struggled to maintain consistency over the past year.
During the recent ODI series against Afghanistan, he participated in two matches. In the first ODI, held in Dharamsala, he took two wickets.

However, he missed the second ODI in Lucknow after captain Shubman Gill announced at the toss that Reddy was dealing with “some issues with his quad.”
He returned for the final ODI in Chennai, where he bowled six overs without taking any wickets, conceding 42 runs, and did not get an opportunity to bat.
Reddy’s progress has repeatedly been interrupted by injuries, including a knee issue that ruled him out midway through India’s Test tour of England.
His bowling workload was also heavily restricted during IPL 2025, when he managed just five overs across 13 matches.
