India's ODI Vice-Captain Shreyas Iyer is reportedly nearing a return to cricket after undergoing surgery for a spleen injury sustained in September. Iyer has shared videos of himself batting at the BCCI's Centre of Excellence, appearing comfortable. While he missed the series against South Africa, his potential availability for the upcoming India vs. New Zealand ODI series in January is being discussed. However, questions remain about his match fitness, and he may need to prove it in domestic cricket before rejoining the national team.
