Shreyas Iyer Resumes Training After Injury
Shreyas Iyer, a cricket player from India, got hurt while playing a match in Sydney.
He had to go to the hospital because his spleen was injured.
After some time in the hospital, he went back to India to rest and recover.
Now, he has started exercising again to get back to playing cricket.
He might not play for a few more months.
India's next big match is against New Zealand in January, and Shreyas is hoping to be ready by then.
He is also the vice-captain of India's ODI team.
Doctors say he needs at least two months to fully recover, but Shreyas is optimistic and working hard to get better.
Shreyas Iyer resumed training a month after suffering a spleen laceration during the 3rd ODI against Australia in Sydney on October 25.
He underwent a minor surgical procedure to control internal bleeding and was discharged from the hospital in early November.
Iyer stayed in Sydney for follow-up evaluations before returning to India on November 16.
He is expected to be out of action for at least two months and will miss the upcoming series against South Africa.
Iyer is targeting a return for the five-match T20I series against New Zealand in January 2024.
