India vs England: Shreyas ruled out of ODI series

Pune: Right-hand batsman Shreyas Iyer has been ruled out of the remaining three-match ODI series against England after dislocating his shoulder while fielding in the first ODI. Iyer suffered a freak injury in the eight over of the England innings in Pune as he attempted to field.


He was seen wincing in pain as he lay on his back on the ground and had to be carried off the park immediately after. Iyer’s injury also means that he will miss part of the Indian Premier League (IPL) to be held from April 9.


“He has been taken for further scans and won’t take any further part in the game,” BCCI tweeted.


Shreyas leads Delhi Capitals in the IPL and helped the team make the final of IPL 2020 where they were runners-up. The batsman had been in good form with the bat in the ongoing limited-overs leg of England’s 2021 tour.
