Shreyas Iyer's hopes of returning to India's Test cricket team are fading after a lackluster showing in the Duleep Trophy. With young talents like Sarfaraz Khan and Dhruv Jurel rising, Iyer's place is uncertain.

Shreyas Iyer will need to focus on performing well in domestic cricket in order to get selected in the Indian Team

Riyan Parag, who scored 37 off 29 balls against India D in the first innings for India A on Thursday, has been advised by former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali to not just focus on playing attacking cricket.

With the Bangladesh Test series approaching, the 2024 Duleep Trophy provided Iyer with an opportunity to redeem himself. However, the India batsman chosen as the D team's captain scored only 104 runs in four innings, including a duck and a half-century.

Shreyas Iyer’s recent performance in the Duleep Trophy, where he scored a half-century in the second innings, has once again sparked discussions about his potential return to the Indian Test team. Despite India D’s defeat to India C, Iyer’s counter-attacking innings showcased his intent and ability to make a significant impact at the highest level.

India A defeated India D by 186 runs in the second round of the Duleep Trophy. On the fourth and the last day of this match, India D collapsed after scoring 301 runs.

Shreyas Iyer, picked as India D captain, scored just 104 runs in four Duleep Trophy innings, which included dismissal for a duck and one half-century knock.

The likes of Shreyas Iyer, Sanju Samson , Riyan Parag and Rinku Singh will get another opportunity to enhance their red-ball credentials when the final round of Duleep Trophy matches begin here on Thursday.

Test comeback hopes of Shreyas Iyer fade as poor shot selection in the Duleep Trophy keeps him out of WTC cycle plans of India and BCCI. Domestic form in Ranji Trophy can be decider.
