India middle-order batter Shreyas Iyer has opened up for the first time upon his return in the team. He picked up a back injury for the first time ahead of the home series against New Zealand in January this year. After more than a month, Iyer made his comeback but his injury re-occurred. This led to him being ruled out of IPL 2023, WTC Final, and some other bilaterals.

Ahead of the upcoming Asia Cup 2023, the right-hander has spoken to the Indian Cricket Board’s social media handle. The Kolkata Knight Riders skipper has claimed that he is fully fit.

“Feeling ecstatic to be honest, to join the team and see happy faces all around. The compassion shown by all the players was fantastic and I am thrilled to be back,” said Iyer in an interview posted by BCCI on X, formally known as Twitter.

I had a nerve compression: Shreyas Iyer

The Mumbaikar added that he had a nerve compression that gave him a lot of pain

“To be precise I had this nerve compression, basically a slip disc, which was compressing the nerve and the pain was going all the way down to the bottom of my tiny toe and it was horrendous, to be honest, at that point of time. And I was in excruciating pain and I wasn’t able to express myself properly about what I’m going through. But yeah, this was the feeling which I was having at that point of time and it was hard to communicate to everyone.”

“I am truly happy to be back where I am right now because I never imagined that I would recover so fast,” said Iyer.

Squad: Rohit Sharma (Captain), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, KL Rahul, Ishan Kishan, Hardik Pandya (VC), Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohd. Shami, Mohd. Siraj, Prasidh Krishna. Reserve: Sanju Samson.
