Good news for IPL champion player
Indian Cricket Team: With the T20 World Cup 2024 underway, India’s squad currently consists of 15 players. This has led to many Indian players waiting for their turn, but there are opportunities to come in the series after the tournament. Questions are being raised about the return of Shreyas Iyer, who captained the IPL 2024-winning Kolkata Knight Riders. It is believed that good times are ahead for him.
Shreyas Iyer may make a comeback in the ODI series against Sri Lanka
IPL champion captain Shreyas Iyer may get a new lease of life in international cricket under his captaincy. Meanwhile, there is news that when India will play three matches against Sri Lanka in July, Shreyas Iyer can return. This is also a possibility for the Indian team’s T20 series against Zimbabwe. However, nothing is confirmed yet.
Did well in ODI World Cup 2023
It is significant that Shreyas Iyer’s performance has not been as expected in T20 cricket but has been good in ODIs. He was a part of the Indian team in the ODI World Cup 2023 and played several good innings. According to a BCCI source, Shreyas Iyer is not currently in the National Cricket Academy (NCA). It includes Abhishek Sharma, Riyan Parag, Mayank Yadav, Harshit Rana, Nitish Reddy, Vijaykumar Visakh, and Yash Dayal, all of whom were selected for the Zimbabwe series.
Indian team focus on Test and ODI cricket
It is said that Shreyas Iyer can play in the three-match ODI series in Sri Lanka. He scored over 500 runs in the ODI World Cup 2023 and his average is close to 50. Meanwhile, it is believed that senior players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Jasprit Bumrah will focus on ODIs and Test cricket, with nine World Test Championship Tests scheduled to begin in September 2024 and end in January 2025. The team going to Zimbabwe will have IPL stars like Rinku Singh, Shubman Gill, Avesh Khan, Khalil Ahmed, while Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav can be captain and vice-captain if they are not given rest. Both have been playing continuously since the IPL began.
