Iyer’s Return to Training a Relief for Indian Team
The return of India’s middle order batsman Shreyas Iyer to training and batting in the nets is a major relief for the Indian team. After suffering a stress fracture, Iyer underwent surgery on his back and has now begun his rehabilitation. This is good news for the Men in Blue, who have been without the services of KL Rahul, Jasprit Bumrah and Rishabh Pant.
High Probability of World Cup Return, Asia Cup Doubtful
The BCCI’s medical team was initially of the opinion that Iyer might not be fit for the 2023 ICC World Cup. However, with the 28-year-old now back on the pitch and continuing his road to recovery, there is a high probability of his return for the tournament. On the other hand, his participation in the Asia Cup or the Asian Games in China is doubtful.
Conclusion
The return of Shreyas Iyer to training and batting in the nets is a major boost for the Indian team. He will likely be in contention for the 2023 ICC World Cup, however, his participation in other tournaments such as the Asia Cup or the Asian Games in China is doubtful.
