Select the correct indirect form of the given sentence.

Our wicket keeper says, "I may not come for the practice today".

Our wicket keeper says that he may not come for the practice today.

The correct indirect form of the given sentence is:

Our wicket keeper says that he may not come for the practice today.

This is because the reporting verb "says" is in the present tense, so the reported clause must also be in the present tense. Additionally, the pronoun "he" must be retained in the third person, even though it is the subject of the reported clause.

The other options are incorrect for the following reasons:

• Our wicket keeper says that he might not come for the practice today. The verb "might" is less certain than "may", so it is not the best choice for reporting a statement that is still in the present tense.
• Our wicket keeper said that he might not come for the practice that day. The reporting verb "said" is in the past tense, so the reported clause must also be in the past tense.
• Our wicket keeper told me he won't come to the practice. The phrase "he won't come" is too direct and informal for indirect speech. The more appropriate form is "he may not come."
