Shreyas Iyer, however, will be fighting for a place in the Indian squad for the ICC World Cup to be played in October-November but it remains to be seen whether he will be called into action soon after his recovery from surgery.
India’s leading batsman Shreyas Iyer, who has been ruled out since the fourth and final Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia due to a back injury, is likely to undergo surgery, according to a report. This will rule him out of action for at least five months and jeopardize his chances of participating in the ICC World Test Championship final and the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Sources told India Today that the 28-year-old batsman was advised surgery after meeting a Mumbai-based doctor for the third time. The surgery is expected to be conducted either in India or in London with the control board Cricket In India (BCCI) is closely monitoring the proceedings.
