Shreyas Iyer To Be Out Of Action For Two Months: Reports

After suffering a ruptured spleen during the third ODI against Australia, it is being reported that the ODI vice-captain will be out of action for two months. Iyer, who was reportedly admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), is now stable and the BCCI's medical team is in constant touch with the doctors, and they are monitoring the player's daily progress.

As reported by RevSportz, the two months injury layoff means that the ODI vice-captain will miss the three-match series against South Africa, and if he fails to regain full fitness by the time New Zealand tour India, then he will also have to miss the three-ODI games that the Kiwis will play against the 'Men in Blue' in the month of January. Unfortunately, the injury will restrict the ODI vice-captain from making his way into the Indian T20I side. India will play their last T20I series against New Zealand before they head to play the T20 World Cup at home, in the month of February.

This means that Shreyas Iyer will be seen playing for India in the month of July next year. India will travel to England next year after the culmination of IPL 2026.
