Shreyas Iyer will not return to the Test team this year? BCCI Shuts Doors For Test Comeback After Duleep Trophy

Indian batsman Shreyas Iyer has not been in good form since the World Cup held in India last year. Iyer has also been out of BCCI’s central contract. This player is now trying to make a comeback in Team India through domestic cricket. However, Shreyas Iyer’s shortcomings were exposed in the Duleep Trophy, due to which his return to the Test team is not possible this year.

Shreyas Iyer will not return to the test team

According to the news of The Telegraph, BCCI officials are not happy with the performance of Shreyas Iyer in the Duleep Trophy. The Telegraph quoted a BCCI official as saying, ‘Shreyas Iyer does not have a place in the Test team at this time. Who will he replace? Apart from this, his shot selection in Duleep Trophy was not good. Especially on Sunday, when he was set and playing on a flat pitch, he cannot get out by playing such shots. You should take advantage of the opportunity.

Question on Iyer’s shot selection

Iyer was out on the ball of left arm spinner Shams Mulani. He was trying to pull and got bowled. He had scored 41 runs. Iyer’s weakness against the shot ball has also worked against him. According to the report, due to this weakness, Iyer will not get a chance even on the tour of Australia.

According to the report, BCCI officials feel that even if Iyer bats brilliantly in the Irani Cup, he will still have a chance in the Ranji Trophy. The BCCI is aware of the fact that Iyer was injured after the World Cup and it will take time for him to regain his full form.
