Why is Nitish Kumar Reddy not playing in 1st T20I against Australia in Canberra?

Team India had their pace-bowling all-rounder, Nitish Kumar Reddy, unavailable for the ODI series finale in Sydney due to a quadriceps injury and the 22-year-old continued to be on the sidelines even in the T20Is. The BCCI confirmed that Reddy was ruled out of the first three T20Is as his recovery from the quad injury was delayed by a neck spasm and might take a week or so to come back to full fitness. Harshit Rana, the pacer, was drafted into the side in place of Reddy.
