Will Iyer Return For SA ODIs? 

There is no clarity over how long will Iyer take to recover completely and hence the ODI series against South Africa which takes place in roughly a month may not see the prolific batter make his comeback as it is highly unlikely. Iyer is the vice-captain of the ODI side and a very important cog in the wheel. One thing is for certain, his hopes of somehow making the T20 squad before the World Cup has gone for a toss.
