India batter Shreyas Iyer will be reporting to the BCCI’s Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru for further assessment of his recovery from a spleen injury, following his resuming batting practice in his hometown Mumbai.
Iyer, India’s ODI vice-captain, suffered a serious spleen laceration while attempting to take a diving catch of Australia’s Alex Carey during the third ODI against Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground on October 25. Subsequent scans at a hospital in Sydney revealed internal bleeding that required immediate hospitalisation and intensive care.
He underwent a minor surgical procedure to control the bleeding and was closely monitored by local medical specialists in Australia and India, before his condition improved and he flew back home. “As of now, there’s no clarity on how many days he will spend there. It might take about four to six
days for the medical team to assess him thoroughly. The CoE will decide the further course of action and set clear timelines in terms of his total recovery and likelihood of being match fit,” said sources.
