Sourav Ganguly unhappy with Shreyas Iyer's absence from Tests: He can play short ball
Former India cricketer turned commentator Sourav Ganguly is not happy to see Shreyas Iyer's absence from the Indian Test team for the upcoming series against England.

The legendary India captain also stated that Iyer has also worked on his short ball weakness and praised him for scoring runs under pressure.'He has been playing at his best in the last one year, and should have been in this team. Last one year has been fantastic for him. He is the player who got left out. He is now scoring under pressure, taking responsibility, playing the short ball well. Although Test cricket's different, I would have had him in this series to see what he can do," Ganguly told RevSportz. Iyer last played Tests back in 2024 as he was dropped from the team midway through the series against England.

We just need two things, batting well and [Jasprit] Bumrah remaining fit. We won in Australia, in Melbourne (2020-21), with a young batting line-up, having no [Virat] Kohli, no Rohit Sharma. So, I do not see why we cannot win,' he are set to take on England in a five-match Test series beginning from June 20 at Headingley, Leeds. It will be the first assignment for the new captain Shubman Gill and vice captain Rishabh Pant. India haven't won a series in England since 2007 and will be up against Ben Stokes' men, who recently climbed to second spot in the ICC Test rankings.
