A case has been filed against Team India all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy amid the ongoing Test series against England. The all-rounder is in legal trouble over non-payment of dues, as per a report by India Today.
The India and SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) player has been accused of not clearing unpaid dues. His former agent has filed a petition, stating that the amount of unpaid dues are over ₹5 crore.
The report added that the relationship between Nitish Kumar Reddy and his former player agency ended during the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia. He then signed up with another manager.
His former agency, Square The One, has filed a petition against the all-rounder for the breach of the management agreement and non-payment of dues under Section 11(6) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act. Notably, the case will be heard on July 28 in the Delhi High Court.
Further, the report added that Square The One represented Nitish Kumar Reddy since 2021. This was even before he became a sensation in the IPL. During their four-year association, the agency helped him with several brand endorsements and commercial partnerships.
