Shreyas Iyer & KL Rahul DOUBTFUL for Asia Cup 2023

Posted by Misha Ghosh
With Asia Cup just round the corner, the Injury concerns are troubling the Indian team. Both KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer are major doubtful for Asia Cup 2023

The Indian cricket team has its own fair share of injury concerns. KL Rahul who had a hamstring injury back in May is highly unlikely to be fit for the upcoming Asia Cup. Adding to the injury list, middle order batter Shreyas Iyer who had a surgery on his back is also a major doubtful for the Asia Cup.

Both the players missed out a chunk of the IPL 2023. While Iyer missed the entire of the tournament, Rahul picked up his injury in an IPL and have been sidelined since then. Both the players have undergone their respective surgeries and are facing a race against time to be 100& fit and match ready for the Asia Cup.

As for Shreyas Iyer, who underwent a surgery on his back stress fracture is also on his road to recovery. However, not much has come to light about Iyer’s recovery.

The ICC has set a deadline and therefore the team must be submitted by 29th of August. On the other hand, Jasprit Bumrah his continuing his recovery.

Reports claim that the Indian pacer is 70% fit and will be in contention to for the team to travel overseas for the India Tour of Ireland. The pacer will get much needed match practice ahead of the mega tournament in October. As far as the Asia Cup is concerned, PCB latest dilemma and objections have thwarted the plans for the tournament. The ACC will be looking to mitigate the matter as soon as possible.
