Iyer's injury update

Iyer is currently recovering from a shoulder injury suffered while playing in the ODI series against England in March. Iyer's injury has healed, but he is yet to regain full strength, for which he has been rigorously training at the National Cricket Academy for the past few weeks. Due to his injury, Iyer has missed several high-profile competitions, including the first half of the Indian Premier League and a chance of playing for Lancashire at the 2021 Royal London Cup. 

As far as Kohli is concerned, the Indian skipper is currently in England preparing for the upcoming five-match Test series against the hosts. Kohli recently missed the three-day practice game against County Select XI due to a stiff back issue. Kohli last played for India in the World Test Championship final against New Zealand, where he failed to convert his good starts into big innings and missed an opportunity to help his team cross the finish line yet again.
