India have picked three rookies in the Test squad for the coming Border Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) in Australia, one of which is seam-up all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy, who has moved up the ranks since his Indian Premier League (IPL) exploits earlier this year at breakneck speed to now stand at the cusp of a possible Test debut. However, former India pacer Dodda Ganesh believes fast-tracking him "serves no purpose".
Reddy, who was in Australia with the 'A' team before India's Test squad arrived, was picked for the BGT along with the uncapped Abhimanyu Easwaran and Harshit Rana for the five-Test series beginning November 22 in Perth.
