Shreyas Iyer will not get a place in Test team, know the whole reason
Highlights
- Shreyas Iyer's return to the Test team is difficult.
- The selectors are not satisfied with Iyer's short ball technology.
- Iyer's selection suspect for England tour.
New Delhi. It is full of history that the doors of the Indian team open for the brilliant performance in the IPL or those who are running out of the team return. But this time IEEIL season 18 is being seen upside down. The big players who are pushing for return, but their talk is not reaching the selectors.
By the way, this news is a little surprised that the selectors are not very keen to take Shreyas Iyer to England. There is only one month left in 5 matches tour, so BCCI may soon announce India's Test team. There are also many contenders for some places. After the retirement of Virat Kohli, the opener and number four have become empty.
How to backward in Shreyas Race?
The Mumbai batsman performed brilliantly in the Ranji Trophy season. But when you look deeply, you will find that Shreyas scored his 2 centuries (142 and 233) against a little weak teams like Maharashtra and Odisha. If we remove these two scores, Shreyas scored only 105 runs in 5 innings. Although his skills have improved a lot against the short ball, BCCI is not sure that his game will also run in England. A BCCI source said that if India played domestic series, the possibilities of selection of Shreyas would have been good. But on foreign tour, the possibilities of their selection against fast bowlers do not seem very good. It is believed that Shreyas will not be able to work in his aggressive sports style in England, a place where most batsmen have to leave the ball more. And they have not yet shown anyone whether they will be able to handle the swing or not.
Number 4 not to break down
Cricket experts believe that Iyer needs to do a little work on his red-ball game right now. Shreyas are performing brilliantly in limited overs, adapting themselves in a great way according to the circumstances. But Test cricket is a different kind of game. Except the short-ball, there will be a lot of swing and movement in England, which makes it necessary to leave the ball. It is very important to leave the ball while batting in England, the source further said as far as Shreyas is concerned, he is naturally aggressive players and try to score fast. Therefore, rein in their tendency can not be so easy, and this is an aspect that can be against the team before being finalized.
