Overview

  • Multiple media reports indicate selectors will recall Iyer to both India’s T20I squad for the Asia Cup and the Test side when they meet in mid-August.
  • The Asia Cup 2025 T20 tournament begins on September 9 in the UAE, where his ability to handle spin is seen as vital on slow, turning pitches.
  • A home Test recall is expected for the two-match series against West Indies starting October 2 in Ahmedabad, with further Tests against South Africa on similar tracks.
  • Iyer was India’s leading run-getter in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 with 243 runs at an average of 48.60 and starred for Punjab Kings in IPL 2025, accumulating 604 runs at a strike rate of 175.07.
  • His selection to West Zone’s Duleep Trophy squad from August 28 offers a traditional pathway to rebuild his Test credentials ahead of next season.
