Indian ODI team vice-captain Shreyas Iyer has become fit. Before making a comeback to international cricket from the ODI series against New Zealand, Iyer will play in the Vijay Hazare Trophy.

Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) “MCA is pleased to announce that Shreyas Iyer has been appointed as the captain of the Mumbai Senior Men’s team for the remaining league matches of the Vijay Hazare Trophy,” MCA said in a statement on Monday.

Iyer’s continuation as captain after the league stage of the Vijay Hazare Trophy is dependent on his fitness for international matches being cleared by the BCCI. Iyer has been included in the team for the three-match ODI series against New Zealand, which will start from January 11 in Baroda.

Shreyas Iyer has been given approval to play with certain conditions from BCCI’s Center of Excellence (COE) in Bengaluru. Iyer spent 10 days at the COE for his final phase of rehabilitation. Iyer also played a practice match on January 2 under the return-to-play protocol. Iyer did not feel any kind of problem during this practice match.

Iyer has consistently performed brilliantly in this tournament. He was the highest run scorer for Mumbai last season by scoring 325 runs in 5 matches.

Iyer suffered a serious injury during India’s third ODI against Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground on 25 October 2025. While trying to take a catch near the third-man boundary, Iyer lost his balance and fell on the ground on his ribs. This caused serious injury to his spleen and also caused internal bleeding. Since then Iyer has been away from the cricket field.

How did Shreyas Iyer get injured?

Shreyas Iyer was injured in the Sydney ODI against Australia, when he was trying to catch the ball of Harshit Rana. Iyer had a serious problem of spleen laceration due to his fall from the left side. Due to this, Iyer had to be admitted in the ICU and there was also a complaint of internal bleeding in his body, which could have been fatal. He was operated on in Australia itself, after which his condition became stable. Shreyas Iyer returned to India after being discharged from the hospital in the beginning of November.

Iyer has been advised to take rest for two months

Medical experts have advised Shreyas to take rest for at least two months and stay away from cricket.
