Shreyas Iyer out of Ranji Trophy : Many players of the Indian cricket team are in the headlines due to their behavior off the field and disobeying BCCI orders. Ishan Kishan's case is in front of everyone and now a new name of Shreyas Iyer has also been added to it. Such a report has come out regarding Iyer, due to which questions are being raised whether he is making excuses.
Iyer not available for Ranji Trophy 2024 quarter-finals
Indian cricket team player Shreyas Iyer had informed the Mumbai Cricket Association a day earlier that he is not available for the quarter-finals of Ranji Trophy 2024 due to back pain. However, National Cricket Academy head of sports science and medicine Nitin Patel said in an email to the selectors that Shreyas Iyer is fit and has no fresh injuries. In such a situation, he should have been ready to play.
“Shreyas Iyer was fit and available for selection” – NCA
According to Mumbai Cricket Association sources, “Shreyas Iyer has cited back pain as the reason for his absence from tomorrow's Ranji Trophy quarter-final match against Baroda, but according to the report, Nitin Patel wrote in his email, “After the handover report. According to this, after the second Test against England, Shreyas Iyer of the Indian team was fit and available for selection. At present, there is no news of any fresh injury after his departure from the Indian team.
Even after being fit, Iyer is not ready to play in Ranji Trophy
IPL 2024 is starting from next month. In such a situation, Shreyas Iyer would probably want to be fit for that tournament. Perhaps this is the reason why he is not ready to play in Ranji Trophy even after being completely fit. Shreyas Iyer could not play for Kolkata Knight Riders last season due to injury. In such a situation, this time he would like to return to the team fully fit and captain the team.
BCCI has warned
Now after the NCA report, questions are being raised whether Shreyas had made a false excuse of injury to the Mumbai team management for not playing the Ranji match? The pain recurred but he did not inform the NCA, which is mandatory for players with central contracts. The issue comes at a time when BCCI Secretary Jay Shah has issued a stern warning to central contract and India-A players that they will have to play domestic cricket as an important criterion for selection. In a letter written to all the players, Shah said that this attitude of the players giving preference to IPL over domestic cricket is bad and strict action will be taken against the players who do so.
