Will Shreyas Iyer not return to the Test team? The report about the Indian batsman gave a big hint.
Shreyas Iyer's future in Team India's Test team has now become a big question. His return to the Test team is currently a distant dream. No, it is not us who are saying this, but the reports that have come out have indicated this. Telegraph, in its report published citing BCCI officials, has given indications related to Shreyas Iyer's return to the Test team. According to the report, Shreyas Iyer, who is out of Bangladesh, does not seem to be able to make it to the Border Gavaskar Trophy team either.
Behind such reports and indications about Shreyas Iyer, his performance is also a big factor. Shreyas Iyer's performance was not good in the Duleep Trophy. He scored only 104 runs in 4 innings of 2 matches played in the Duleep Trophy. During this, he scored only one half-century. The most surprising thing was to see that Shreyas Iyer was seen losing his wicket after settling on the wicket.
After seeing Shreyas Iyer's performance, a BCCI official told the Telegraph that for now there is no place for Shreyas Iyer in the Test team. His shot selection in the Duleep Trophy was surprising. Once he got set, the way he threw away his wicket by playing a bad shot was very disappointing. This tournament was an opportunity for Iyer, which he failed to capitalize on.
However, Shreyas Iyer's chances of proving himself are not over yet. He still has one match of Duleep Trophy left. Who knows he might score a century there and regain his form. After this, Irani Cup is starting on 1st October, in which he will have a chance to score runs. If he does not play there due to being selected in the T20 series against Bangladesh, then he will have Ranji Trophy matches ahead, where he can make a comeback by scoring runs.
However, the BCCI official expressed the possibility that due to his weakness against the short ball, Shreyas Iyer may not go to Australia to play the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. If he scores runs in the upcoming domestic tournaments, the result will be that his name may be considered for the domestic series.
