Shreyas Iyer would have never made it to England... but his time will come: Ex-India opener
Senior batter Shreyas Iyer's absence was one of the most hotly-debated topics after India's squad for the ongoing five-match Test series in England was announced on 24 May. Former India opener Aakash Chopra, however, explains why Iyer would have never boarded the flight to the United Kingdom. read more Shreyas Iyer hasn't represented India in Test cricket since the second of five Tests against England in Visakhapatnam last year. Image: Reuters There was plenty of chatter last month after the Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee had on 24 May announced India's squad for the five-Test series in England , which got underway last Friday at Headingley, Leeds and concluded in a five-wicket victory for the home team. And among the key takeaways from the squad announcement was the confirmation of top-order batter Shubman Gill succeeding Rohit Sharma as India Test captain, as well as the maiden Test call-ups to Sai Sudharsan and Arshdeep Singh and a recall for Karun Nair after eight long years. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD There were also some murmur over the exclusion of senior middle-order batter Shreyas Iyer , who had been having a solid run in ODIs and had led Punjab Kings from the front in the Indian Premier League, guiding them into the final in his maiden season in charge. And to back his claim to a spot in the Test side, Iyer had also been having a solid domestic run – scoring 480 runs in the most recent season of the Ranji Trophy at an average of 68.57. Chopra cites Sarfaraz and Jurel as examples while explaining Iyer's absence Former India opener Aakash Chopra, however, feels there was no chance for Iyer to get included in the Indian middle-order for England despite his strong domestic run. Iyer has not played Test cricket since he was dropped midway during the five-match Test series against England at home last year. 'There is no problem with the batting as such. But he has to wait for his chances; he won't get a chance straightaway right now. He would've never made it to the squad for the England tour. The remaining ones also haven't had their chance,' Chopra said on his YouTube channel. 'If you think about it, Karun Nair has played just now. Sarfaraz Khan is not being given the chances. Dhruv Jurel is sitting outside. The players who are already there, if they aren't only getting the chances, then how can Shreyas Iyer get a look in? 'I know he had a good first-class season. He had a good IPL, took Punjab Kings to the final. He did well in white-ball cricket, but his time will come. He will have to wait just a little bit,' the former India opener added. Newly-appointed Test captain Shubman Gill and his deputy Rishabh Pant occupy Nos 4 and 5 in the Indian middle order, the former occupying the slot that previously belonged to batting superstar Virat Kohli, and to the legendary Sachin Tendulkar before him. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Karun Nair, who made his first appearance for the Indian team in eight years at Headingley , came in at No 6 with all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja and Shardul Thakur occupying the next two slots. Iyer, however, remains integral to India's ODI middle-order, having starred in India's dominant run to the final in the 2023 World Cup as well as their triumph in the Champions Trophy earlier this year.

All it needs is attitude adjustment to become a good fielding side: Haddin
Former Australia keeper-batter Brad Haddin believes the Indian team, led by Shubman Gill, needs an "attitude adjustment" as the visitors try to find a way out of their fielding woes in the ongoing five-Test series in England. Indian fielders, especially Yashasvi Jaiswal, dropped several catches as Gill's side lost the opening Test at Headingley by five wickets to go 0-1 down against Ben Stokes' team. The 47-year-old Haddin, who played 66 Tests and scored more than 6,500 runs across formats for Australia, said that all the great cricket teams across different eras had good fielding as their distinguishing feature. "Every great team, no matter what era you are playing, the one standout they've always had... they've been great fielding teams. And, I think, that's the one legacy (Shubman) Gill can start to leave now on this team," said Haddin in his Willow Talk podcast. "It needs an attitude adjustment if you want to field well and compete the whole time, it's only attitude," Haddin added. Young opener Jaiswal, who was fielding in the slips and gully region, crucial catches off the bowling of Jasprit Bumrah, leaving the pace spearhead frustrated. Indicating that Indian players' poor fielding was evident during this year's Indian Premier League, Haddin said the catching had left a lot to be desired during the two-month-long T20 tournament. "In the IPL this year, the catching was horrible. Yes, we talk about talented bowlers, batsmen, but it was the catching that was a real problem." He said that there was nothing stopping India from becoming the best fielding side in the world given the kind of talent they had. "And the one thing I'd say to India, is find a way to be the best fielding team in the world because you've got the talent everywhere else," he said. India will hope to overcome their shortcoming and level the series when the second Test gets underway in Birmingham on July 2.
