MUMBAI: This won’t be music to the ears of the Indian team management, considering that the ODI World Cup in India is now only less than three months away. TOI has learnt that middle-order batter Shreyas Iyer is still not over his back woes and is unlikely to recover in time for the Asia Cup in August-September.
Iyer underwent a back surgery in April in London after missing a fair bit of cricket due to the injury. He wasn’t named in the squads for the West Indies tour in July-August, which were announced on Friday.
