Shreyas Iyer News / Will Iyer return to the Test team? Indian cricketer made a big claim

Shreyas Iyer News: Indian cricket team's reliable batsman Shreyas Iyer has proved his usefulness in all three formats so far. He has not only been useful for the team in ODIs and T20s, but he has also shown his fighting spirit by playing important innings in Test cricket. Despite this, he was not included in Team India in the ongoing five-match Test series against England. Surprisingly, he did not even get a chance in the India A team, which played an unofficial Test series against England Lions.

Aakash Chopra gave a statement in support of Iyer

Famous cricket commentator and former batsman Aakash Chopra has given a reassuring statement about Iyer's Test future. On his YouTube channel, he said, "Shreyas Iyer's Test career is not over. He will have to wait a bit. Just like Karun Nair has got a chance again, Iyer's comeback is also possible." Chopra also added that many other players like Sarfaraz Khan and Dhruv Jurel are also waiting for their turn. He praised Iyer's captaincy, saying that he led Punjab Kings to the finals in the IPL, which also highlighted his leadership skills.
