@Source: newsbytesapp.com
Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra has ruled out the possibility of Shreyas Iyer being included in India's Test squad anytime soon. This comes despite Iyer's stellar performances in recent months across all formats. Chopra emphasized that there are several players ahead of him in the selection queue for Tests, including Karun Nair, Sarfaraz Khan, and Dhruv Jurel. Iyer has been in exceptional form, emerging as India's top scorer in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. He also had a stellar IPL season and performed well in the domestic red-ball circuit. However, Chopra said on his YouTube channel that Shreyas Iyer won't get a chance now, adding that many other players have not gotten their chances either. Chopra further explained the Test selection process by saying, If you think about it, Karun Nair has only just gotten his chance. Sarfaraz Khan hasn't been given a shot. Dhruv Jurel is waiting on the sidelines. He stressed that if Iyer can't even get among those who are in the waiting line, then how can he be considered for selection? Despite his stellar performances, Chopra emphasized that red-ball opportunities will only come with patience. I know he had a good first-class season. He had a good IPL, took Punjab Kings to the final, did well in white-ball cricket — but his time will come in Tests, the former Team India Test opener stated.
