Poll
Should Shreyas Iyer have been included in the Indian Test team for the England series?
Iyer, who recently represented SoBo Mumbai Falcons in the Mumbai T20 League after the IPL 2025 season, is currently on a break. Pictures of the cricketer in Kazakhstan had gone viral among fans earlier. The Indian Test team is in England for a five-match series, but Iyer was not picked for the squad, despite expectations that he might slot into the middle order following the Test retirements of senior players Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli.
