Huge Blow for Team India: Iyer likely to miss Test Series vs AUS, Suryakumar to make Test debut and Sarfaraz to receive maiden Test call

India's star middle-order batsman Shreyas Iyer is likely to miss the upcoming Test series against Australia due to back injury.

The 4-Match Test Series between India and Australia starting on 9 February will decide who will be the finalists of World Test Championship (WTC) 2021-23. However, just before the Test Series bad news struck Team India.

India’s star middle-order batsman Shreyas Iyer is likely to miss the upcoming Test series against Australia due to back injury.

A senior BCCI official told InsideSport, “Shreyas will report at the NCA in a couple of days and will begin his rehab. He needs to undergo further tests to understand the severity. From what we know so far, he is a big doubt for the first 2-3 Tests. But we still have time and if he does recover in time, then obviously he will play.”

Incase Shreyas Iyer doesn’t get fit in time, Suryakumar Yadav who recently returned to Ranji Trophy is likely to make his Test debut and Sarfaraz Khan who is in the form of his life is likely to receive his maiden Test call.

Suryakumar Yadav scored two 90+ scores in the Ranji Trophy in four innings and with India seeking an attacking batter in the middle order in Rishabh Pant’s absence, he could get the nod ahead of Shubman Gill.
