IND vs AUS Test: Shreyas Iyer unlikely to play in the 2nd Test against Australia

Star Indian batter Shreyas Iyer, who was ruled out of the 1st Test due to a lower back injury, is unlikely to play the 2nd Test too. 

As per reports, Shreyas Iyer is still doing rehabilitation at the NCA and it is unlikely that BCCI will rush him directly in a Test match.

India and Australia will play the second Test at the Arun Jaitley stadium from 17 February and it is to be seen if Iyer is able to join the team.

Iyer is currently doing his strength and conditioning routines, but the norm for returning to play in the international arena is to at least play a domestic game of some form. It will be interesting to see if the selection committee will name Iyer in the Rest of India squad for the Irani Cup match against Madhya Pradesh from March 1-5 to prove his fitness or not.
