New Delhi: Shreyas Iyer Test Comeback Tough: It is difficult for Indian team's star batsman Shreyas Iyer to return to the Test team at the moment. The selectors did not make Shreyas a part of the Indian team for the first Test against Bangladesh, because Iyer's recent form has been poor.

In the ongoing Duleep Trophy, he has managed to score just 104 runs in four innings. Iyer has fallen behind in the rankings after youngsters like Sarfaraz Khan and Dhruv Jurel performed brilliantly in the white-ball matches against England earlier this year.

Let us tell you that Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul are also part of the team for the first match of the two-match Test series to be played between India and Bangladesh, but Iyer did not get a place. Meanwhile, a BCCI official has given a statement about Iyer while talking to the Telegraph.

Doors closed for Shreyas Iyer's return to Test team!

In fact, a BCCI official has claimed that there is no place for Shreyas Iyer in the current Test team. Iyer failed to take advantage of the batting-friendly pitches in the Duleep Trophy, due to which the selectors themselves are afraid of giving him a chance.

The BCCI official told the Telegraph that there is no place for Shreyas in the Test team at the moment. Who will he replace? Apart from this, his shot selection in Duleep has been a matter of concern. In the match played on Sunday, he was well set and then suddenly he played such a shot (off left-arm spinner Shams Mulani), which he probably should not have played. When you are set and then bat on a flat pitch, you have to make the best use of that opportunity.

IND vs AUS: Shreyas Iyer may miss Australia tour due to short ball problem

Meanwhile, a second board official has suggested that Iyer will continue to work hard in the domestic circuit. The player is unlikely to be selected for the five-match Test tour of Australia later this year.

He said that Shreyas could be in Mumbai's squad for the Irani Cup (starting in Lucknow from October 1). Even if he is selected for the Bangladesh T20Is (from October 6), he could still play in the Irani and then be available from the second T20I.

He further said that if he does not perform well in Irani, he still has Ranji Trophy to score runs. It was not long ago that he was batting so well in last year's ODI World Cup. He also got injured. Also, Duleep still has one round left. No one knows who knows he might score a century. He needs to regain his old form. It is being speculated that he will not go to Australia due to losing wickets early against the short ball, but no one can ignore his domestic runs.
