India player Nitish Kumar Reddy participated in practice sessions with an Andhra Premier League (APL) team and, thereby, demonstrated his strong commitment and teamwork. Although Nitish will be with the India team during the APL tournament and will not be available to play in the T20 premier league, his involvement in training and his public support for the league have been invaluable.
Nitish practiced alongside his APL teammates, offering experience and mentorship that uplifted the squad’s preparedness. The Andhra Cricket Association (ACA) said it was grateful to players like Nitish Kumar Reddy for their active support. Nitish’s collaboration with the ACA and his visible encouragement for APL have boosted local interest and inspired young cricketers across the state.
The APL will be held at three centres across Andhra Pradesh from June 9 to 30. The inauguration will be held on that day in Visakhapatnam. The other two centres are Kadapa and Mangalagiri.
