The indian cricket team's tour of england (India Tour of england 2025) is going to start from june 20. The five-Test series is about a month away, at the moment the biggest question is which players will be given a place in Team India. Due to the Test retirement of virat kohli and Rohit Sharma, the opening and number-4 batsman's place has become vacant. Now a big revelation has been made about shreyas iyer in a media report.
According to a report published in The Telegraph, there are very few chances that the bcci will take shreyas iyer on the england tour. Citing the Telegraph, a bcci source said that if the indian team was playing a domestic series, Iyer would have got a place in the team, but on a foreign tour, he may not get a place in Team India.
Could not win the trust of selectors
The same source told that there is a belief within the bcci that shreyas iyer still needs to work a little more on his red ball game. Iyer is performing brilliantly in white ball matches, he was also the highest run scorer for india in the Champions Trophy 2025.
It was also told that the short ball is not the only problem but swing and movement will also be seen in the ball in england, due to which one should know the art of leaving the ball empty. The source said that it is very important to know how to leave the ball in England.
According to the same report, another bcci official said, "Shreyas Iyer naturally plays aggressive cricket and tries to score runs quickly. Therefore, it can be difficult for him to decide between hitting the ball and not hitting it." This could be one of the main reasons behind Shreyas not getting a place in the squad.
