Shreyas Iyer is currently injured and is undergoing treatment in the hospital. He got injured while catching the ball against Australia in Sydney. It was told that he suffered an injury below his left rib, for which he had to undergo an operation. He is undergoing treatment in Sydney and as per the latest update, he has come out of ICU. But this question must have also come in your mind whether Shreyas Iyer himself is bearing the expenses of the treatment or someone else? Know here, what is its rule?

Who bears the expenses of the injured player?

Whenever a player gets injured on a foreign tour, BCCI bears the expenses of his medical examination. Under the medical insurance policy of BCCI, it is the responsibility of BCCI to bear the cost of medical examination of the players coming in the central contract list. Along with this, BCCI also bears the expenses when the player is going through the rehabilitation process. The board will also give compensation to Iyer for not getting match fees in the next matches.

For example, when Shreyas Iyer got injured in Sydney, the BCCI medical team was the first to start treatment with the help of specialist doctors available in Australia. To recover from injury, players are given rehabilitation facilities at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru. For this the player himself does not have to bear any expense. There is an insurance policy even for players who are not in the central contract list, but they do not get so many facilities.

Talking about Shreyas Iyer, his life was said to be in danger because his condition had become more serious due to internal bleeding. For this he also had to be admitted to ICU. He is in danger of being out of the ODI series against South Africa. India vs South Africa ODI series will be played from 30 November-6 December.

The whole of India must be wishing for the recovery of Shreyas Iyer. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had given an update saying that Iyer has suffered a spleen injury, which clearly means internal bleeding. He was also admitted to the ICU, but the good news is that now Iyer is out of the ICU.

Iyer suffered a rib injury while taking a catch in the third ODI match played against Australia in Sydney. When all the test reports came out, it was found that he had internal bleeding. Cricbuzz’s recent report has revealed that Iyer has now come out of the ICU, but the danger is not completely over as his condition still remains critical.

If sources are to be believed, Shreyas Iyer is currently out of danger, but his condition was critical due to leakage of blood inside the body. While taking the catch of Alex Carey, Iyer fell on the ground on his chest, after which he was admitted to the hospital in Sydney itself. It is being told that some friends are still with Iyer and after the completion of the visa process, one of his family members may reach Sydney soon.

BCCI had given update

BCCI had given an update on Shreyas Iyer’s injury and said that he has suffered an injury below the left rib. The scan revealed that he had suffered an injury to his spleen. It was told that Iyer is under the supervision of doctors and is recovering well. The spleen is a small organ, which is located below the ribs. This organ works to filter blood.
