Shreyas Iyer makes Bold claim on Fitness during Ranji Trophy: ‘Absolutely keen for a…’

out-of-favour batter Shreyas Iyer returned to action and scored a century in the Ranji Trophy 2024-25 clash between Mumbai and Maharashtra. Shreyas is eyeing to make his comeback to Test squad after being dropped off from the Indian Test squad, and has his main focus on keeping himself fit.

“Coming back after a very long time, obviously I was feeling a bit down with my injuries, but now getting a century after a very long time, it’s a great feeling,” said Iyer according to ESPNCricinfo.

“I am absolutely keen for a [Test] comeback but yeah, as we say, control the controllables and my job is to keep performing and keep participating as much as possible and also see with that my body is in best shape. So I’ll take the best decision possible according to that,” he added.

Shreyas missed the last two Tests of the England series due to issues in his back which returned several months after surgery. He has said a lot of times that he talked about this issue while playing the longer format.

“See, I had addressed my feeling during the longer format and things didn’t go my way,” he said, implying that he was willing to put it behind him. “But I’ve also addressed it in the previous interviews I’ve given and I’m in a good space right now. I’m doing what I’m meant to do, that is training and playing matches consistently and I feel that all the matches I’ve played right now in the past have helped me gain that fitness level as well, along with my training,” he concluded.
