Indian team’s strong batsman Shreyas Iyer has done very well in all the formats. He has left his mark not only in white ball format but also in Test cricket. Despite this, Shreyas did not get a place in Team India for the five -match Test series being played against England. Not only this, he was also not selected in the India A team for the informal Test series played against England Lions. Famous commentator Akash Chopra has given a big statement about Shreyas Iyer’s return to Team India. According to him, Shreyas Iyer’s time has not ended in Test cricket yet.
Shreyas will return to Test team
Akash Chopra shared a video on his official YouTube channel in which he said, ‘Shreyas will no longer get a chance. More players have not got a chance. If you think, see that Karun Nair has now returned to Team India. Sarfaraz Khan has also not been included in Team India and Dhruv Jurlel is also waiting for his opportunity.
Chopra further said, ‘Talking about Shreyas Iyer, his first class season has been strong and in the IPL, he had given Punjab Kings a place in the final under his captaincy. But now it is a matter of test. They just need to wait a little bit and their return will definitely be in the Test team.
