India's white-ball specialist Shreyas Iyer's much-anticipated comeback to competitive cricket has been delayed as he was forced to withdraw from Lancashire's Royal London Cup campaign.

India's white-ball specialist Shreyas Iyer has been ruled out of Lancashire's upcoming Royal London Cup campaign which means that his much-anticipated comeback to competitive cricket has been delayed. Iyer had sustained a shoulder injury during the ODI series against England and after that he underwent surgery. As a result of this, he was also ruled out of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 which was since suspended with an eye on the Covid-19 situation and will now be completed in UAE. Iyer started hitting the nets recently but it is understood that he is far from being ready for the July 22-August 18 tournament.
