Shreyas Iyer IPL Comeback Uncertain After Injury in Ranji Trophy !!

According to the report of ESPNcricinfo, Shreyas Iyer has been ruled out of the quarterfinal match in the Ranji Trophy due to a back spasm. Iyer was kept out of the Indian team for the remainder of the Test series against England on “precautionary grounds” due to a back problem that he complained of. That problem is dooming his performance in the Ranji Trophy as well. In the previous match, Sreyash again complained about his back pain after batting for 30 minutes. The Mumbai team management then decided that he needed rest to recover from this injury. Now the Mumbai team is in a dire situation after losing another good player. The team has already suffered a big blow even before the quarter-finals against Baroda to be held on 23 February. Another star player, Shivam Dubey will also not play in the quarter-finals due to a side strain.
