Mumbai: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced that all-rounder Suryansh Shedge has been included in India’s squad for the T20 series in Ireland and England, replacing the injured Nitish Kumar Reddy.
The 23-year-old was part of the India A team that recently won the 50-over tri-series against Sri Lanka A and Afghanistan A in Sri Lanka.
Batting in the lower middle order, he scored 147 runs at a strike rate of 120.49. Contributed 23 overs in five innings and claimed two wickets with his medium pace at an economy rate of 6.04.
In the 2026 Indian Premier League season, representing Punjab Kings, Shedge scored 158 runs in seven innings at an average of 39.50 with a strike rate of 175.55.
Reddy suffered a left quadriceps injury during the third ODI against Afghanistan in Chennai last week.
He will spend at least a month rehabilitating at the BCCI’s special center in Bangalore with a view to returning in time for the two-Test tour of Sri Lanka in August.
Meanwhile, Muhammad Siraj (workload management) and Varun Chakraborty (leg injury) were earlier dropped from the original T20I squad for this tour.
India play two T20Is against Ireland on June 26 and 28 in Belfast before traveling to England for three ODIs followed by five T20Is.
The T20I series will be played at Chester-le-Street (July 1), Manchester (July 4), Nottingham (July 7), Bristol (July 9), and Southampton (July 10).
