Overview

  • The BCCI’s second medical update says a blunt abdominal impact caused a spleen laceration with internal bleeding, which was promptly identified and the bleeding arrested.
  • BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia said Iyer did not undergo surgery but a different procedure to stop the bleeding, adding his recovery is progressing faster than expected.
  • Repeat scans on October 28 showed significant improvement, and Iyer has been moved out of intensive care and is stable.
  • The Indian team doctor, Dr. Rizwan Khan, remains in Sydney to monitor daily progress, and the board is arranging for a family member to join Iyer at St Vincent’s Hospital.
  • Captain Suryakumar Yadav said Iyer is responsive on calls and messages; he is expected to stay in Sydney for a 7–10 day hospital stay and is likely to miss the home ODIs against South Africa starting November 30.
