Shreyas Iyer will not play in the ODI series against South Africa
Shreyas Iyer recently toured Australia, where he was part of a three-match ODI series. He suffered an injury during the tour, which later worsened. He was immediately admitted to the hospital and treated. Now it is being told that Shreyas Iyer has recovered to a great extent. However, there is no possibility of his return to the field at this time. A report in the Indian Express revealed that the medical team has provided all the information to the BCCI selection committee. Shreyas needs at least a month to get match-fit, the report said.

BCCI does not want to rush anything
The report quoted BCCI sources as saying that Shreyas needs at least a month to be match-fit. BCCI does not want to rush into anything. Shreyas’ oxygen level reportedly dropped to 50, and until recently, he could not even stand up properly. He should be given more time to fully recover.

Shreyas was given the responsibility of vice-captain
He was injured while fielding in the last match of the three-match ODI series against Australia. Shubman Gill was also appointed as the captain of India’s ODI team in this series, while Shreyas Iyer was given the vice-captaincy. Now that the India vs South Africa ODI series will take place, the BCCI will also have to choose a new vice-captain.
