Indian batter Shreyas Iyer and wicket-keeper KL Rahul are highly unlikely to be fit before the upcoming Asia Cup 2023.
According to a report by the Times of India, it has been learned that Iyer is unlikely to regain full fitness for the continental tournament which is scheduled to take place in August-September.
“Iyer recently took an injection for his back pain at the BCCI’s National Cricket Academy. His back is still giving him trouble,” a source told.
KL Rahul is currently at the NCA in Bangalore completing his rehabilitation. While Shreyas Iyer, who underwent a surgery on his back stress fracture is also on his road to recovery.
Iyer was ruled out with a back injury during the New Zealand series. The batter complained about a stiff back after the final encounter of the Sri Lanka series earlier this year.
The injured batter has played 10 Tests, 42 ODIs and 49 T20Is for India, averaging 46.6. Iyer has amassed 1631 runs in the 50-over format for India.
