Overview
- The BCCI said he has been discharged from St. Vincent’s Hospital in Sydney and will remain there for follow-ups before flying home.
- Doctors treated a grade-two splenic tear with interventional trans-catheter embolisation to stop internal bleeding, and he had earlier been moved out of the ICU after stabilisation.
- Iyer posted that he is getting better each day, and a BCCI update cited significant improvement on recent scans.
- Reports said his condition was briefly critical soon after the October 25 fielding injury at the SCG when he dived to dismiss Alex Carey.
- Coverage cites a provisional recovery estimate of around two months, which would likely rule him out of the South Africa ODIs and leave the New Zealand series uncertain.
