Indian batsman Shreyas Iyer has been ruled out of the upcoming three-game One Day International (ODI) series against Australia, which is set to begin on March 17th. The 26-year-old suffered a back injury during the fourth Test against Australia earlier this month, which forced him to leave the field and undergo scans.<\/p>\n
The medical reports have now confirmed that Iyer has sustained a back injury and as a result, he will be unavailable for selection for the upcoming ODI series against Australia. The Indian team management has yet to name a replacement for Iyer, who was expected to play a crucial role in the middle order for the visitors.<\/p>\n
Iyer had been in good form recently. His absence will be a significant blow to the Indian team, which is already without the services of regular skipper Virat Kohli, who is on paternity leave.<\/p>\n
India\u2019s middle order has been a point of concern for the team in recent times, and Iyer\u2019s injury will only add to their worries. The team management will now have to look for a suitable replacement, with the likes of Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan being touted as possible options.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
