Recently, Shreyas Iyer was in the news, however not necessarily because of his actions. The in-form batter may not have been comforted by the Asia Cup snub, despite the subsequent wave of positive headlines and supportive debate across the country. Strangely enough, he was still excluded from the continental T20 championship. However, a chance appears to be calling. After all, the Australians are travelling to India.
When the selectors convene to choose a side, the Shreyas Iyer issue will be the main topic of discussion, but it has no bearing on whether he will be chosen for India. The squad that will play Australia A. What role he receives is the main concern. He will probably play a significant role in the team, whether as captain or not. Next week, the Australians will visit India, where they will play three white ball matches after two four-day red ball matches.
Shreyas Iyer is playing for West Zone vs Central Zone in the Duleep Trophy match in Bengaluru right now.
He was dismissed for 25 by Khaleel Ahmed in the first innings, which was a pretty lacklustre performance. However, it seems unlikely that the short but windy knock will affect his selection in any way, if not for the three white-ball matches, then at least for the two red-ball games.
Shreyas Iyer was one of the best hitters in the IPL, but he was not selected for the Asia Cup T20 team, which began play in the United Arab Emirates on September 9. However, the fact that he appears to be in the running for red-ball matches suggests that he will be considered for future games, whether it be the October home Test series against the West Indies or the ensuing away red-ball series in Australia.
Top performances from the current Duleep Trophy, including Sai Sudharsan, A Easwaran, and Nitish Reddy, may be considered for selection in addition to Shreyas Iyer . The selectors may be considering players like Rajat Patidar, Ruturaj Gaikwad, and N Jagadeesan, among others.
Just one day after the Duleep Trophy final, which begins on September 11, is set to end, the first of India A and Australia A’s two four-day matches begins in Lucknow on September 16. The selection will therefore probably take place a few days following the current semifinals, which conclude on September 7. Three white ball matches will take place in Kanpur on September 30, October 3, and October 5, after the second red ball tournament, which will take place in Lucknow from September 23 to 26.
