Shreyas Iyer's hopes of returning to India's Test cricket team are fading after a lackluster showing in the Duleep Trophy. With young talents like Sarfaraz Khan and Dhruv Jurel rising, Iyer's place is uncertain.

Shreyas Iyer, picked as India D captain, scored just 104 runs in four Duleep Trophy innings, which included dismissal for a duck and one half-century knock.

Shreyas Iyer has endured a disappointing run in the Duleep Trophy so far, scoring just 104 runs from four innings for India D. The 29 year-old has also failed to find a spot in the Team India squad for the first Test against Bangladesh.

The 2024 Duleep Trophy was an opportunity for him to find a place in the Test squad, but the 29-year-old's performance as captain of India D fell short of expectations, managing only 104 runs in four innings. A BCCI official delivered a harsh assessment of Iyer's Test prospects.

A BCCI official has declared that middle-order batter Shreyas Iyer is no way in their scheme of things as far as the Test team goes. The official expressed concerns about his form, claiming that the right-hander squandered a golden chance to make big runs in the Duleep Trophy.

Test comeback hopes of Shreyas Iyer fade as poor shot selection in the Duleep Trophy keeps him out of WTC cycle plans of India and BCCI. Domestic form in Ranji Trophy can be decider.

Ishan Kishan, who makes a memorable return to red ball cricket by scoring a hundred for India C, needs another epic knock to garner more attention from the selectors.

"At the moment, there's no room for Shreyas to be in the Test team. Who will he replace? Besides, his shot selection has been a concern in Duleep, especially yesterday (Sunday). He was well set and then suddenly played such a shot (off left-arm spinner Shams Mulani ).
