After a fabulous outing in the IPL 2024, Shreyas Iyer is returning to the Indian Cricket team. According to reports, the player is all set to feature in the upcoming series against Sri Lanka.

The reports further claim that the player could also play in the series against Zimbabwe in July 2024. Gautam Gambhir’s first assignments as head coach of the Indian team will probably be these two series.

His return to the squad can also result in a reunion between him and Gambhir, who was KKR’s mentor during IPL 2024 when Iyer won his first trophy as captain.

Shreyas Iyer to return to Indian setup

According to a statement made to TOI by a BCCI source, “Shreyas is currently not at NCA. Here, mostly those players are those who have performed in the IPL and will be in contention for Zimbabwe selection. Abhishek Sharma, Riyan Parag, Mayank Yadav, Harshit Rana, Nitish Reddy, Vijaykumar Vyshak, and Yash Dayal are all at the camp. Some will go to Zimbabwe T20Is.”
