Nitish Kumar Reddy has been dealt a double blow. The first was an unexpected injury, which ruled him out of the remaining two matches of the India vs England Test series. The second has been a legal notice sent by his former agency.
Nitish Reddy taken to court
Square The One, which managed from 2021 until the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, has claimed that Nitish hasn’t paid them dues worth a whopping Rs 5 crore. The sports player agency was associated with him before the all-rounder gained fame.
For 4 years, the agency helped Nitish get brand endorsements. However, during India’s tour of Australia, their partnership came to an end. According to India Today, Nitish decided to cut ties with his agency and signed with the manager of another Indian cricketer who was part of the team for the tour.
“Ninety percent of such disputes do not reach court and are resolved privately. But in this case, Nitish refused to pay any money and claimed he had secured the deals himself,” a source said.
Hearing on July 28
Subsequently, the agency filed a legal suit against him. The case will be heard on July 28 in the Delhi High Court. The petition filed comes under Section 11(6) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, alleging breach of the management agreement and non-payment of dues.
