Shreyas Iyer Shares Positive Update On India Comeback, Star Cricketer Resumes Training

Injured Indian cricketer Shreyas Iyer has kicked off his road to return to the Indian cricket team. The middle-order batter shared a positive update about his health as he resumes training.

Doubts Still Remain Over Shreyas Iyer's India Comeback

Shreyas Iyer looks in good shape as he resumes training to be back in shape for competitive cricket. But his return to the India fold may take some time, as he will be out of action for a few months.

The Indian middle-order batter is already ruled out of the South Africa ODI series. Shubman Gill is also out of action, and KL Rahul will be leading the Men in Blue against the Proteas Men in the 50-over format.

With the T20 World Cup approaching, India will be in action against South Africa and New Zealand in T20Is. Given Iyer's form in the limited-over format, he could be a solid solution for the Men in Blue in the middle.

It is yet to be seen when Iyer will return to the Indian white-ball fold once again.
