KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer Aiming to be Fit for Asia Cup 2023
With the Asia Cup 2023 tournament just two months away, Indian cricketers KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer are on the road to recovery. The BCCI is looking to have the duo ready for the continental tournament, which will serve as a great warm-up for the World Cup 2023. As of now, Rahul is the only likely player to return, apart from Jasprit Bumrah. Unfortunately, things are not looking so good for Shreyas Iyer.
BCCI Medical Team Worried About Iyer’s Fitness
The BCCI Medical Team is concerned that Iyer may not be able to make it for the World Cup. Thus, Suryakumar Yadav and Sanju Samson have been brought back into the ODI plans. Both players are excellent spinners, just like Iyer. With the World Cup matches likely to be played on spin-friendly pitches, the two have been included in the plans. After missing the IPL and the WTC Final, Iyer had undergone back surgery, but he is still suffering from back pain.
