While the BCCI did not provide a timeframe for his recovery, Iyer might reportedly take around two months to gain full fitness before making his return to the cricketing field. He is all set to miss the upcoming home series against South Africa. There is a chance that he may remain unavailable for the ODI series against New Zealand in January as well.

During the three-match series in Australia, Shreyas scored 72 runs in two games, including a valiant 77-ball 61 in the second Adelaide ODI, during which he stitched a century stand with Rohit Sharma. The 30-year-old has witnessed an incredible run with the bat lately, having scored 496 runs in 11 matches at an average of 49.60, striking at 89.53, with five fifties and a best score of 79.
