Shreyas Iyer Set to Miss South Africa and New Zealand ODIs During Spleen Injury Recovery

Medical guidance limits him to basic isometrics now, with CoE rehabilitation to begin only if a two‑month scan clears progress.

Overview

  • Iyer underwent a recent USG near his home, with Dr. Dinshaw Pardiwala reviewing results that show steady healing.
  • He has been cleared for normal daily activity and simple isometric exercises but must avoid any training that raises intra‑abdominal pressure for about a month.
  • A follow‑up USG at the two‑month mark will determine when he can start organised rehabilitation at the BCCI Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru.
  • Based on the staged recovery plan, reports indicate an expected layoff of roughly two to three months, sidelining him from the upcoming ODI series.
  • The injury occurred on October 25 during a diving catch in Sydney, leading to internal bleeding and a splenic laceration treated with a brief procedure and ICU observation.
