Shreyas Iyer’s Injury update – Shreyas Iyer is alleged to have provided false information to the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) in order to skip the Ranji Trophy clash between Mumbai and Baroda. Following a recent directive from the BCCI, players are required to represent their state teams when not a part of the Indian national team or dealing with injuries. This directive was issued in response to criticism faced by players like Ishan Kishan and the Pandya brothers for opting out of the Ranji Trophy while engaging in private training.
Despite being dropped from the Indian Test team after the first two matches against England, Shreyas Iyer was anticipated to make a comeback in the Ranji game against Baroda. However, he withdrew from the match, citing a back injury. There are now reports suggesting that Iyer might be fit and deliberately misled the MCA to avoid participating in the Ranji fixture. This has added a layer of controversy to his decision and raised questions about his commitment to the team. # Shreyas Iyer’s Injury update
Despite Shreyas Iyer withdrawing from the match against Baroda, citing a back injury, a different perspective has emerged from a National Cricket Academy (NCA) official. According to information shared in the Indian Express, Nitin Patel, the head of sports science and medicine at the NCA, has communicated to the selectors that there were no new injury concerns and that Shreyas Iyer was considered ‘fit.’
In an email, Patel stated, “Shreyas Iyer was fit and available for selection as per the handover report of the Indian team after the 2nd Test match against England. There are currently no fresh injuries reported as well after his departure from Team India.” This presents a contrasting view regarding Iyer’s fitness status, raising questions about the accuracy of the initially cited back injury as the reason for his withdrawal from the game. # Shreyas Iyer’s Injury update
Shreyas Iyer had received instructions from the selectors to participate in the Ranji Trophy as a means of regaining his form in red-ball cricket. Following a less-than-impressive performance in the two-match Test series in South Africa, he adhered to the directive and played a Ranji game against Andhra last month, scoring 48 runs. However, his batting struggles continued during the England series, where he posted scores of 35, 13, 27, and 39.
In response to such situations, BCCI Secretary Jay Shah, earlier this month, conveyed that players could face significant consequences for not participating in domestic cricket. According to media reports, the BCCI is now purportedly planning to enforce a mandatory requirement for players to engage in a minimum number of domestic cricket matches to maintain eligibility for the IPL auction.
