Star Indian batter Shreyas Iyer was taken for scans after complaining of back pain on Day 4 of the 4th Test against Australia.
Iyer’s injury came to light after Srikar Bharat came out to bat ahead of him following Ravindra Jadeja’s dismissal in the 1st session.
”Shreyas Iyer complained of pain in his lower back following the third day’s play. He has gone for scans and the BCCI Medical Team is monitoring him,” BCCI said in a medical update.
Shreyas Iyer opted out of the ODI series against New Zealand and also missed the first Test against Australia due to a back issue. While it’s still not clear whether Iyer will be available for the remainder of the match, this once again raised questions over the fitness protocols.
