Shubman Gill has been released from India’s Test squad against South Africa due to a neck spasm sustained in the first Test. The BCCI confirmed he will focus on recovery, with his participation in the upcoming ODI series yet to be determined.

India captain Shubman Gill released from Test squad due to injury

India captain Shubman Gill was on Friday released from the Test squad ahead of the second match against South Africa starting Saturday.

Gill suffered a neck spasm while batting in the first innings of the opening Test in Kolkata and was hospitalised after sustaining a whiplash.

"Gill has been released from the squad. He will be working on his recovery," a senior BCCI source told PTI on the condition of anonymity.

Gill travelled with the team to Guwahati but the pain in his nape didn't subside completely. It remains to be seen if he can play the upcoming ODI series.

"We don't want recurrence of spasm during the game," batting coach Sitanshu Kotak had said on Thursday.

South Africa lead the two-match series 1-0 after their memorable win at Eden Gardens.
