Asia Cup 2023: KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer Unlikely to be Fit

Instead of focusing on the Asia Cup, Rahul and Iyer should aim to make a strong comeback and try to secure a spot in the squad for the 2023 World Cup. The ICC has set a deadline of August 29 for submitting the team for the World Cup.

The Indian cricket team is dealing with injury concerns as KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer are unlikely to be fit for the upcoming Asia Cup. Rahul suffered a hamstring injury in May and has been sidelined since then, while Iyer underwent back surgery and missed the entire IPL 2023 season.

Both players are in a race against time to recover and be match-ready for the Asia Cup, but it is highly unlikely that they will be included in the India squad. Rahul is currently undergoing rehabilitation at the NCA in Bangalore, while not much information is available about Iyer’s recovery.

Instead of focusing on the Asia Cup, Rahul and Iyer should aim to make a strong comeback and try to secure a spot in the squad for the 2023 World Cup. The ICC has set a deadline of August 29 for submitting the team for the World Cup.

Meanwhile, Jasprit Bumrah is continuing his recovery from injury. Reports suggest that he is 70% fit and will be considered for the team to travel to Ireland for the India Tour of Ireland, which will provide him with crucial match practice ahead of the World Cup.

The plans for the Asia Cup have faced obstacles due to objections from the PCB, creating a dilemma for the tournament. The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) is working to resolve the matter as quickly as possible.
