Shreyas Iyer, who suffered a serious spleen laceration while attempting to take a diving catch during an India vs Australia ODI in October, will not return for the three-match ODI series against New Zealand. The series starts on January 11. He has not received clearance from the BCCI. He can bat but has not regained the strength to be on the field. According to a report in TOI, Iyer has rapidly lost weight (around 6 kg) due to the injury, as there has been a drop in muscle mass.

On Sunday, media reports claimed that if Shreyas's recovery goes as planned, he is likely to play two Vijay Hazare Trophy matches for Mumbai on January 3 and 6, before linking up with the Indian team in Vadodara ahead of the three-match ODI series against the Kiwis.

However, a BCCI source told NDTV that Shreyas's participation in the three-match ODI series, as well as the Vijay Hazare Trophy games, will depend on whether the batter can cope with the physical rigours of a 50-over game following abdominal surgery.

"Shreyas Iyer has started skill training this week. He is in good shape. But we will have to assess his ability to field in a 50-over game before putting him back on the park. Depending on how he pulls up, his participation in the Vijay Hazare will be decided," a BCCI source told NDTV.

Shreyas suffered a serious spleen laceration while attempting to take a diving catch off Australia wicketkeeper-batter Alex Carey. Subsequent scans at a hospital in Sydney revealed internal bleeding that required immediate hospitalization and intensive care.

He underwent a minor surgical procedure to control the bleeding and was closely monitored by local medical specialists in Australia and India, including the Indian team doctor, before his condition improved and he flew back home.

Sarfaraz "Not Even Being Allowed To Fail": Questions Raised On Selectors

-
https://ift.tt/gjQfS59 Sarfaraz Khan 's long absence from the Indian Test team has raised quite a few eyebrows. Several former players feel that the Mumbai batter, who has not played a Test since November 2024, deserves a chance in the squad. Former India player Aakash Chopra believes Sarfaraz has fallen victim to a perception battle. The 28-year-old has so far played six Tests, scoring 371 runs at an average of 37.10. He has three fifties and one century to his name. "I think there is a clarity issue in the case of Sarfaraz. I think it is a case of perception and understanding. I am trying to think-they might have a perception that he may not do as well in swinging conditions or play fast bowling well. Maybe he is not our guy in SENA countries. So he did not get the chance. But even to make that perception, I have to allow him to fail. He is not even being allowed to fail. And now there is no place in the team as well," Chopra said on Shubhankar Mishra's YouTube ch...
