Good news for IPL champion player
Indian Cricket Team: Team India is currently busy in the T20 World Cup 2024. Where a total of 15 players are in the squad. This is the reason why the rest of the Indian players are sitting out at this time and waiting for their turn. But there are many series after the T20 World Cup, in which they can get a chance to play. Meanwhile, the question is whether captain Shreyas Iyer, who won the IPL 2024 title, can return to the Indian team. Yes, it can be said that good days are coming for Shreyas Iyer.
Shreyas Iyer may return in the ODI series against Sri Lanka
IPL champion captain Shreyas Iyer’s international career can get a new lease of life. Under his captaincy, the Kolkata Knight Riders team won the Indian Premier League title in the year 2024. Meanwhile, the BCCI had dropped him from the central contract, but now he can return. It is believed that when the ODI series will be played between India and Sri Lanka in July, Shreyas Iyer can come back in it. Three matches will be played in the series. Not only this, there is also news that Shreyas Iyer can also be selected in the Indian team for the T20 series against Zimbabwe. However, nothing can be said for sure about this right now.
Did a good performance for Team India in ODI World Cup
The big thing is that even though Shreyas Iyer’s performance in T20 cricket has not been as expected, he has been playing well in ODIs. He was a part of the Indian team in the ODI World Cup played last year and during this time some good innings came from his bat. A BCCI source told PTI that Shreyas Iyer is not in NCA right now. Most of the cricketers in NCA are those who have played well in IPL and can go to Zimbabwe. It has been learned that it includes Abhishek Sharma, Riyan Parag, Mayank Yadav, Harshit Rana, Nitish Reddy, Vijaykumar Visakh, Yash Dayal etc.
Indian team’s focus will remain on Test and ODI
It has been learned that Shreyas Iyer may go for the three-match ODI series in Sri Lanka. He scored more than 500 runs in the 2023 ODI World Cup and his average is also close to 50. Meanwhile, it is believed that senior players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah will now focus on ODIs and Tests as nine WTC Tests are to be played between September 2024 and January 2025. These include two Tests each in India against Bangladesh and New Zealand, five Tests in Australia and the ODI Champions Trophy in Pakistan. The team going to Zimbabwe will have IPL stars like Rinku Singh, Shubman Gill, Avesh Khan, Khalil Ahmed. If Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav are not given rest, they can be the captain and vice-captain, although both have been playing continuously since the beginning of the IPL.
