Talented India batsman Shreyas Iyer is now fully match-fit and has been cleared by the National Cricket Academy (NCA) to return to competitive action, which is due when IPL Starting 19 September in the UAE.
Iyer will rejoin IPL franchise Delhi Capitals, which led him to the finals for the first time in 2020, but his injury meant that Rishabh Pant captained the team during the previous edition, which has been referred to by many inside the bio-bubble. Was stopped after COVID-19 cases. .
The 26-year-old Iyer, who has played 22 ODIs and 29 T20 Internationals, suffered a horrific shoulder dislocation during the one-day international against England in Pune on March 23 and underwent a surgery in the United Kingdom.
After completing an intensive rehabilitation program and proving his fitness during his week-long stay at the NCA, it is understood that its medical team has declared him fit to return to competitive cricket.
“Yes, NCA has issued a fit certificate to Shreyas. He was at the NCA in Bangalore for a week and his final assessment took place a few days back. Based on all the medical and physical parameters, he is now ready to play the match.
“This could not have happened at a better time with India’s T20 World Cup campaign in two months,” a senior BCCI source told PTI on condition of anonymity.
Iyer did his rehab program at the MCA ground in the BKC campus but as per BCCI protocol, he has to undergo an intensive fitness test before being declared match fit by the competent authorities.
With the return of Iyer, India’s T20 team will have more options in the middle order, but more importantly, all eyes will be on Delhi Capitals’ management to decide who they pick for the leadership role.
One school of thought is that Iyer led well and DC reached their maiden final last year but Pant is also a young superstar in his own right. If the reins are handed back to Aiyar, how he will take the decision is also a question.
There could be a possibility that if Pant is not retained as the captain, the keeper-batsman may return to the auction pool and in that case, it is anyone’s guess as to his career as a player and brand. The price will hit the ceiling.
