Former Australia skipper Ian Chappell believes that the BCCI selectors will not be paying much attention to Shreyas Iyer in the future, with the Mumbai middle-order batsman not performing well with the bat.
India are currently taking on England in a five-match Test series. England drew first blood by winning the first Test in Hyderabad, followed by a splendid bowling performance from India in the second Test in Vizag.
In both Tests, though, Iyer looked out of sorts and failed to cash in on the starts he had gotten.
Last week, BCCI announced the squads for the last three Tests. Unsurprisingly, Iyer was not included in the squad.
At first, it seemed as though the player had not recovered from the knock he had sustained during the second Test, but Iyer was cleared for selection before the squads for announced, which implies that the player was dropped because of poor performance.

What did Ian Chappell say about Shreyas Iyer?
Chappell wrote a column for ESPNcricinfo, where he talked about Ben Stokes’ leadership and how the current England outfit, revolutionised by ‘Bazball’, was much different in a good way than the teams that have toured India in the recent past.
Here’s what he said about India and Iyer:
India is a strong side and they also have a good leader in Rohit Sharma. They will be greatly strengthened by Ravindra Jadeja’s and KL Rahul’s recovery from injury, but that Virat Kohli will not return for the rest of the series is a blow. Hopefully the selectors will now stop overestimating Shreyas Iyer’s batting ability and learn to value Kuldeep Yadav’s wicket-taking capability more.
As the home side India should eventually win a tough series, but it has a real battle on their hands.
What next for Shreyas Iyer?
Having gotten the axe from the selectors, Iyer could return to the domestic circuit in an attempt to regain his place in the Test team in the future.
However, he will be more focused on his fitness with the upcoming edition of the T20 World Cup set to be played in June.
