Shivam Dube has been called up to the Indian squad for the upcoming tour of Zimbabwe, replacing the injured all-rounder Nitish Reddy. Reddy, who earned his maiden national call-up after an impressive Indian Premier League (IPL) campaign for Sunrisers Hyderabad, will miss the tour due to injury. He had a remarkable IPL season, scoring 303 runs and taking three wickets, leading Sunrisers to the final and earning the Emerging Player Award for 2024.
Dube, who plays for Chennai Super Kings, is currently part of the Indian squad at the ongoing T20 World Cup. He will join the team in Zimbabwe for the five-match T20I series, scheduled to begin on July 6th, 2024. The series will be played in Harare.
This is a significant opportunity for Dube to cement his place in the Indian team. He will be looking to impress in Zimbabwe, hoping to secure a spot in the upcoming T20 World Cup. Reddy’s injury is a setback for the young all-rounder, but he will be looking to bounce back stronger in the future.
