Overview
- The BCCI said Iyer is stable and recovering after a spleen laceration with internal bleeding sustained during a diving catch in the third ODI on October 25 in Sydney.
- Bleeding was controlled through a minor procedure, and he was monitored in intensive care before improving.
- He will remain in Sydney for follow-up consultations and will fly back to India once he is medically cleared to travel.
- The board thanked Dr Kouroush Haghighi in Sydney and Dr Dinshaw Pardiwala in India for overseeing his treatment.
- Reports indicate a recovery of roughly two months, making the South Africa ODIs unlikely and possibly affecting the January New Zealand series, though the BCCI has not confirmed a timeline.
