The middle-order batter from Mumbai traveled to Bengaluru’s National Cricket Academy (NCA) for his rehabilitation after having to withdraw from the three-match ODI series against New Zealand owing to a back injury.
According to reports, Iyer continues to experience lower back pain despite receiving injections. And the NCA has urged him to take at least two weeks off.
Iyer is now likely to receive treatment at NCA rather than reporting to the Indian team’s camp in Nagpur before the first Test match beginning on February 2.
