Dilip Vengsarkar stated that Shreyas Iyer taking a break from red-ball cricket, giving fitness issues as an excuse, but being fully fit for white-ball cricket is beyond his comprehension.
He last played a Test match for India in February 2024 before being dropped from the side due to form and fitness issues. After that, he went on a grind in domestic cricket and played several red-ball matches as well.
He was also in line to be named in the Rest of India squad for the Irani Cup, and there were expectations of his return to the Indian Test team for the home series against West Indies.
I feel that if you are fit for white-ball cricket, you are obviously fit for red-ball cricket too - Dilip Vengsarkar
However, the former India captain and BCCI selector Dilip Vengsarkar is not happy seeing Shreyas Iyer step away from red-ball cricket, giving fitness excuses and playing white-ball cricket at the same time. He bluntly said that if a player is fit for white-ball cricket, he is fit for red-ball cricket too. Speaking to Mid-day, he said:
"I feel that if you are fit for white-ball cricket, you are obviously fit for red-ball cricket too. Choosing red-ball or white-ball and such things are beyond my comprehension," he added.
He’s one of those guys who hardly gets the credit he deserves - Harbhajan Singh
Rohit Sharma was recently sacked as India's ODI skipper, and Shubman Gill was handed the captaincy for the Australia tour. With Gill being elevated from vice-captain to captain, the BCCI named Shreyas Iyer as his deputy.
"I’m very happy for Shreyas Iyer,” Harbhajan told JioHotstar. He’s one of those guys who hardly gets the credit he deserves. We talk about that World Cup in India — he scored back-to-back centuries, and with what pace! He’s an impact player; when he gets going, he makes things easy for the dressing room and the other batters.
"I’m happy he’s back in the scheme of things, not just as a player but with a bigger responsibility as vice-captain. I’m looking forward to seeing what he brings to the table in terms of ideas and how he and Shubman Gill take this team forward," he added.
