Recovery of KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer for Asia Cup 2023
As the Asia Cup 2023 is just two months away, KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer are on their way to full recovery. The tournament will be a great warm-up for the World Cup 2023 and the BCCI is hoping that the two will be able to join in the Asia Cup. At this time, Rahul is the only one, apart from Jasprit Bumrah, who is likely to return. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for Shreyas Iyer.
Concerns about Iyer’s Fitness For World Cup
The BCCI Medical Team is worried that Iyer may not be fit for the World Cup. This is why Suryakumar Yadav and Sanju Samson have been included in the plans for ODIs. The two players are known to be excellent spinners, like Iyer, and since the World Cup matches will be played on spin-friendly pitches, their inclusion makes sense. After missing the IPL and the WTC Final, Iyer had to undergo back surgery, but he is still experiencing back pain.
