Although the severity of Shreyas Iyer‘s injury is still being determined by medical professionals in Australia and India, the preliminary assessment indicates that it will take a few weeks for him to fully recover and return to action, though this does not necessarily mean that he will miss the series against South Africa.
According to information obtained by Cricbuzz, Shreyas Iyer, the vice captain for the ODI series, is presently in a Sydney hospital and has been assigned a doctor by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to care for him. He is thought to be accompanied by the team doctor as well as a handful of his Australian-based buddies.
Shreyas Iyer return to India is yet unknown, but it is anticipated to take a few more days.
Shreyas Iyer was not supposed to go home right away despite being selected only for the three ODIs. It has been learned that he was supposed to visit Australia for a few days before returning home. But once he’s back in India, he might need to go to Bengaluru’s Centre of Excellence.
When the India ODI vice-captain tried to catch Alex Carey off Harshit Rana’s bowling, he hurt his rib cage. Shortly after making a spectacular diving catch, he had to be removed from the field.
“Shreyas Iyer hurt his left rib cage while playing field. During Saturday’s third ODI at the SCG, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) released a statement stating that “he has been taken to the hospital for further evaluation and assessment of his injury.”
Iyer might be able to play in the three-match home series on November 30, December 3, and December 6; India’s next ODI is on November 30, which is more than a month away. In any event, he has taken a legally allowed break from red-ball cricket, therefore he won’t have to participate in the current Ranji Trophy games.
The availability of Nitish Reddy for T20Is
Another member of the Indian team in Australia has been hurt. India won the third ODI by nine wickets, however Nitish Kumar Reddy was forced to skip it due to a left quadriceps injury.
Nitish Kumar Reddy was unable to be selected for the third ODI after suffering a left quadriceps injury during the second ODI in Adelaide, according to the BCCI. He is under daily observation by the BCCI Medical Team.
According to reports, the injury is not severe enough to jeopardize his spot in the T20I squad, and he will still go with the team for the five-match series, which starts on October 29 in Canberra. There is hope in the camp that he will be healthy enough to be selected for the rest of the series, even though he might not be available for the first game.
