Former Indian cricketer Kris Srikkanth feels Shreyas Iyer should have been in India's T20I mix for the upcoming series against South Africa. The last time Iyer represented the Men in Blue in a T20I was in December 2023.
Although Srikkanth seemed satisfied with the 15-member squad named to take on the Proteas, he opined Iyer deserved a chance, especially after his performance in the Champions Trophy and the Indian Premier League earlier in the year.
To conclude, the 65-year-old opined that Iyer was simply unlucky to miss owing to India's bench strength in white-ball cricket.
