IND vs NZ ODIs: Iyer declared match fit, set to be part of India playing 11
Shreyas Iyer sealed his return by turning out for Mumbai in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy, where he registered scores of 82 and 45
Shreyas Iyer has been declared match fit and will join India’s one-day international squad ahead of the three-match series against New Zealand, beginning January 11 in Vadodara. The middle-order batter, who was included in the 15-member squad earlier this month subject to fitness clearance, has been cleared after proving his readiness in domestic cricket.
Cleared after Vijay Hazare appearances
Iyer sealed his return by turning out for Mumbai in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy, where he registered scores of 82 and 45. The innings came as a significant marker in his recovery process, prompting the team management and medical staff to give him the green light. He is scheduled to link up with the national squad on Friday, two days before the series opener.
In the absence of Shardul Thakur due to injury, Iyer also led Mumbai in those two matches, further underlining his readiness to resume competitive cricket at the highest level.
