Asia Cup 2023
‘Is bhai ki injury aati hai, jaati hai, fir wapas aa jaati hai’ – Fans fed up as Shreyas Iyer unlikely to play Asia Cup 2023 as per fresh reports
Shreyas Iyer has been injured since the BGT series 2023.
India batter Shreyas Iyer might not recover for the Asia Cup 2023. He sustained a back injury ahead of the home series against New Zealand in January this year. After a gap of one and a half months, Iyer returned during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy this year. During the last game of the series, the right-hander didn’t come out to bat as his injury re-occurred.
This led the Mumbaikar having missed the IPL 2023 for Kolkata Knight Riders. He was replaced by Nitish Rana as captain of the team. The former champions finished outside of the playoffs once again. Meanwhile, a while back, it was reported that Iyer might recover ahead of the Asia Cup 2023. It was said that the middle-order batter would have made himself available for the tournament.
Now, fresh reports in the Times of India suggest that the KKR skipper might not recover for the continental tournament.
“Iyer recently took an injection for his back pain at the Indian Cricket Board’s National Cricket Academy. His back is still giving him trouble,” a source told the newspaper.
This is how Twitter reacted
Agr recover ho b jaye tou kisi ko ghanta fark nahi padta.

Rohit Sharma is the most unlucky captain,he never got key Players fit to win cups then there was a captain who lost all the trophies in his career with a full fledged team.

Suryakumar is out of form in ODI cricket. He has not shown his glamour in ODI format. That three ducks in 3 ODI match series against Australia would haunt him. Unavailability of Shreyas is a dent to ICT. He is a consistent performer. India would want him in World Cup

Tough for Iyer, KL and Bumrah to come back directly to WC and perform in the high pressure games. Why Deepak Chahar not in ODI squad? He is a decent all-rounder who can bowl in PP.

Now Ishan Rutu Surya and Samson are in contention for 4 and 5 since Rahul Pant and Iyer unavailable. I prefer Samson at 4 and Surya at 5 at the moment.
