Shreyas Iyer to play for Mumbai in Ranji Trophy 2024 prior of England Test series

Ahead of the home Test series against England, Mumbai’s second-round Ranji Trophy 2024 matchup against Andhra Pradesh is scheduled to begin on Friday. The match features star Indian batter Shreyas Iyer. For the first time since the 2018–19 season, the right-hand hitter is participating in the Ranji Trophy for his home country. The 29-year-old has the chance to get better before the home Tests against England, which start in Hyderabad on January 25, at the Sharad Pawar Cricket Academy in BKC.

The Kolkata Knight Riders skipper had a rough South Africa tour, scoring 31, 6, 0, and 4 not out. Earlier this week, he was left out of India’s T20I team for the three-match series against Afghanistan.
The two Tests in South Africa marked Iyer’s first red-ball games in nearly nine months, following his recovery from a back injury sustained during the Border-Gavaskar series at home against Australia in February-March.
After missing the 2017 WTC Final and the Caribbean tour, Iyer returned from surgery for the Asia Cup and played an important role in India’s journey to the 2023 ODI World Cup final.
The Chembur-born player scored the third-most runs for India in the World Cup, behind Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, with 530 in 11 innings at 66.25, including two hundreds and three half-centuries. In December, he was selected as vice captain for the final two T20Is at home against Australia.
