Coming out to be a big blow to team India A, one day before the start of Duleep Trophy 2024, star pacer Prasidh Krishna is ruled out for the first match. A report stated that the pace bowler has not yet reached his peak fitness and hence, will miss India A’s game against India B in the opening of Duleep Trophy 2024.
There is currently no information regarding the replacement of Krishna for the game. The pace bowler had to go through surgery on hi left proximal quadriceps tendon in February, and has been going rehabilitation ever since at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru.
Krishna has proved to be an important player in contributing for India in the limited overs. In 17 ODI matches he took 29 wickets at an economy of 5.60, along with playing 5 T20Is and claimed 8 wickets with an average of 27.50.
Krishna gave his last appearance during India’s tour of South Africa and then suffered a left quadriceps injury when he was playing for Karnataka against Gujarat in Ranji Trophy.
As he is currently going through his recovery process, Team A will have to make adjustments in their plans in the opening of Duleep Trophy.
