Shreyas Iyer Tipped for India T20I and Test Comeback
7 Aug
Summary
- Shreyas Iyer likely to be recalled for India's T20I and Test teams
- Iyer's class and experience in the middle order deemed crucial
- Pant ruled out for 6 weeks due to toe fracture, to miss Asia Cup
According to reports, Shreyas Iyer is likely to be recalled to India's T20I and Test teams when the selectors meet in August to pick the squads for the Asia Cup and the two-Test series against West Indies. The 30-year-old Mumbai cricketer, who was ignored for the recent tour of England, is said to be in serious contention for a spot in the middle order across all formats.
The decision-makers feel Iyer's class and experience are crucial, especially with the team missing his skills during the "Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy" in England. Iyer has been picked in the West Zone team for the upcoming Duleep Trophy, which will serve as an opportunity for him to showcase his form and fitness ahead of the upcoming international assignments.
In another development, wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant has been ruled out of action for at least six weeks due to a toe fracture sustained during the fourth Test against England. As a result, Pant will miss the Asia Cup tournament in September and may also be unavailable for the West Indies series starting in October.
