Ind a vs aus a: India has suffered a major setback in the ongoing four -day unofficial Test series between India A and Australia A. Just before the second match of the series, Shreyas Iyer, who is the captain of India A team and the middle -order batsman, suddenly withdrew his name from the team, leaving the captaincy and returned to Mumbai. This sudden decision has surprised both the team management and the fans.
So far, the official reason for Iyer’s sudden return has not been revealed, but according to sources, the reason for his return is being said to be personal. After his departure, the vice-captain Dhruv Jurael will take command of the team. No other player has been given a place in the team in place of Aayyar.
Iyer has also sought a holiday from BCCI, giving personal reasons. According to a source in the Times of India, Iyer had already informed the selectors about his absence in the second match and the team selectors are looking at their future in the context of playing in the West Indies series.
Recent form of Shreyas Iyer
Shreyas Iyer’s performance was not as great in this series. In the first unofficial Test, he was able to add only 8 runs. At the same time, in the semi -finals of the Dalip Trophy, he also performed average, and he scored 25 and 12 runs respectively, but even then the selectors are keeping an eye on him. Iyer also played brilliant innings in India’s Champions Trophy earlier this year. He scored 243 runs in the tournament at an average of 48.60. Apart from this, he took the Punjab team to the final in the IPL too.
More changes in the team
Apart from Iyer’s absence, there has been another change in the team. The team has included fast bowler Mohammad Siraj. He has got a place in the team in place of Khalil Ahmed. This change is also an opportunity for young players to impress the selectors by showing their talent and stay in the race to make a place in the senior team in the future.
Challenge for team
Shreyas Iyer’s absence is a challenge for Team India A. The sudden exit of the captain can affect the team’s strategy and mentality. However, the team will try his best to take advantage of the opportunity from the experience of vice-captain Dhruv Jurael and other players. This is a great opportunity for young players to show series performance.
