Iyer’s T20I absence ahead of the World Cup
On the cricketing front, Shreyas Iyer was part of India’s squad for the recent five-match T20I series against New Zealand. He was named as a replacement for the injured Tilak Varma.
India won the series 4-1 under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav. However, Iyer did not get a chance to play. He remained on the bench for all five matches.
In T20Is overall, Shreyas Iyer has played 47 innings so far. He has scored 1,104 runs. His average stands at 30.66 with a 136.12 strike rate. He has also hit eight half-centuries in the format.
Despite his experience, Iyer is not part of India’s squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2026. The tournament will begin on February 7 and will be hosted by India and Sri Lanka.
Iyer will be next seen in IPL 2026 for PBKS
Meanwhile, Shreyas is now expected to return to competitive cricket in the IPL 2026. The season is scheduled to start on March 26.
He will lead the Punjab Kings once again, as the 2026 season will be his second year as the franchise captain.
In IPL 2025, his first season with Punjab Kings, Iyer guided the team to the final. Punjab fought back strongly in the tournament. However, they lost the final match to RCB, led by Rajat Patidar.
Despite the loss, Shreyas Iyer’s leadership was widely praised. For now, Shreyas seems to be enjoying some time away from cricket. After recent injury setbacks and snubs, the middle-order batter needs time to rejuvenate himself mentally.
