Former Indian cricket Virender Sehwag questioned the absence of Shreyas Iyer from the Indian test team for England Tour. BCCI named an 18-member strong group for a versatile series when they appointed Shaubman Gill, a new party’s captain.
However, Shreyas Iyer did not find a place after dropping From the longest format back in 2024. Recently Sehwag spoke about the Iyer wedding of the team when he mentioned that the bomber dough for his captain had no credit.
“Definitely. He doesn’t have much recognition for his captain. Manoj (Tiwars) said Rishabh Pant did not get the captain because his IPL season was not great. But Iyer had a great season, he is also a captain. Why can’t he play in a test cricket?
In addition, Sehwag stressed that the ability of Iyer quickly could help India put pressure back on England that would pass to 6-7.
“When you are in good shape, it is good to take it on tour because there are higher chances of getting off. I would like to see it in the test team. If it has the same approach in the test cricket, it benefits the team.
Iyer played 14 tests and scored 811 runs on average 36.86 with a hundred and five 1950s in his name. His last show in the White returned in February 2024 against England. The right-hand dough was seen in good form in the wound Trophy 2024-25, accumulating 480 runs from seven shifts for Mumbai in diameter 68.57 with two centuries.
