Meanwhile, Shreyas Iyer was recently in action as captain of India A in the first unofficial Test against Australia A in Lucknow. The right-handed batter didn’t have the best outing, scoring just eight runs in his only innings, with the match ending in a draw.

However, he withdrew from the ongoing second game against Australia A. According to Cricbuzz, the 30-year-old has requested the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to take a short break from red-ball cricket to focus on revamping his fitness routine. This comes ahead of India’s upcoming two-match Test series against the West Indies, starting October 2 in Ahmedabad.
