One of Team India’s major concerns heading into the ODI World Cup at home has been that of the injuries to top order batsman Shreyas Iyer.
Though Iyer injured his back yet again during the recently-concluded Asia Cup, the management remains positive of his recovery.
Meanwhile, former Team India opener Gautam Gambhir rapped Iyer’s selection in the Indian team for the mega event. The former southpaw feels that India should look for a replacement immediately.
However, India’s former World Cup winning captain Kapil Dev admitted that he would rather leave it to the selectors in taking the best call in this scenario. The former all-rounder also said that it is very easy to question a player and point fingers at him.
“I am nobody to answer that. The selectors are doing their job. It is very easy to raise fingers at one player,” said Kapil on the sidelines of the launch of the third edition of J&K Open to be held at Jammu Tawi Golf Course from October 4 to 7.
Meanwhile, BCCI chief selector Ajit Agarkar said, “He got through his batting programme fine and at the moment, he is fit. We hope that he gets through all these three games.”
