Shreyas Iyer to make comeback in Tests for England series? Reports make a massive claim
India batter Shreyas Iyer's career in Test might be over as the right-hander won't be featured in the longest format of the game anytime soon. As per the Journalist, Vaibhav Bhola, it is learned that the batter won't be part of the England Test series.
The Times Now Journalist mentioned that Gautam Gambhir-led team management has categorically mentioned that Shreyas Iyer can't play short ball, and hence, they don't want him in the team. The Test series between England and India is all set to begin on 20th June at Headingley in Leeds.
Shreyas Iyer has been undergoing a purple patch in cricket, and there were a lot of reports that claimed that he might make the cut into the team for the Test series against England. The batter, since the last year, has been magnificent in both domestic cricket as well as international cricket.
Shreyas Iyer won many titles with Mumbai and also won IPL with Kolkata Knight Riders. The premier batter also played a vital role for India in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 as he ended the tournament as the leading run-getter with over 220 runs to his name, helping his team win.
Shreyas Iyer last featured for India in the Test cricket during the series against England
Shreyas Iyer last featured for India in the Test cricket during the series against England. He played the first few games and then was dropped from the team owing to his poor performances. However, after that, he worked on his game, especially short ball and scored truckloads of runs.
With Virat Kohli calling his retirement from Test cricket, there might be a slight chance for Shreyas Iyer to make his comeback. The India team will be in need of a number four batter and it's fair to say he will be one of the best choices.
Shreyas Iyer so far has represented India in 14 Test matches. The Mumbai batter has hit 811 runs at an average of over 36. He also has hit five fifties and one century. His only ton came during his debut game against New Zealand.
