IND vs AUS: This star of Team India will be out of the second test as well, what will Rohit Sharma do now? – ind vs aus shreyas iyer not to fit for 2nd test match still doing rehabilitation in nca

New Delhi: Star batsman Shreyas Iyer, who was ruled out of the first Test due to a back injury, is still undergoing ‘rehab’ process at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) with the team management unlikely to take a risk of fielding him in the Test match. The second Test between India and Australia will be played at Ferozeshah Kotla from Friday and it remains to be seen whether Iyer joins the team or not. Iyer had posted a few videos of a ‘rehabilitation’ program at the NCA in Bengaluru in which he was accompanied by trainer S Rajinikanth.

Iyer has been doing ‘strength and conditioning’ training but will be required to play at least one domestic match as part of his international return criteria with the national team. Therefore, Iyer cannot be fielded directly in a Test match as he will have to field for 90 overs and may have to bat for a long time. It will be interesting to see whether the Chetan Sharma-led selection committee includes Iyer in the Rest of India squad to prove his fitness for the Irani Cup match against Madhya Pradesh from March 1 to 5.

The selection committee had asked Ravindra Jadeja to play a Ranji Trophy match to prove his fitness. While Jasprit Bumrah’s recovery from a stress fracture has been slow, the Indian team management will not risk him blooming in the three ODIs against Australia after the four-match Test series.

Bumrah is likely to be needed for the World Test Championship final at the Oval in London from June 7-11 and his presence will also be crucial for the ODI World Cup to be held in India later this year. So there is every possibility that Bumrah will make a comeback for Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League this year where his workload will be monitored.

Jadeja, who was the player of the match in the first Test, appeared in the nets at the VCA Stadium in Jamtha for an optional training session ahead of the second Test starting in Delhi on Friday. Jadeja was accompanied by senior batsman Cheteshwar Pujara. Pujara will play his 100th Test match at Feroz Shah Kotla.
