Abhishek Nayar revealed that the star batsman Shreyas Iyer is not well-liked by the BCCI chief selector Ajit Agarkar and head coach Gautam Gambhir, which led to his non-selection in India's Asia Cup 2025 squad.
He piled up big runs for Mumbai in domestic cricket across all formats and then delivered magical performances for India with the bat in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
Iyer continued his good form in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 and played exceptionally well for the Punjab Kings (PBKS).

“It sort of tells and sends a message to Shreyas Iyer that you aren’t in our 20-man scheme of things, because even if things do not work out, you aren’t going to be in the team," Nayar added.
“(In that case) either Riyan Parag will come or someone else. The big question here is whether they are looking at him from a T20 point of view. I always say this, selection, after a while, becomes about who you like a little more than the other. Maybe Shreyas Iyer isn’t as liked as someone else is," Nayar said, as quoted by News18.
