India middle-order batsman and Delhi Capitals captain, Shreyas Iyer, will be going under the knife for his shoulder operation on April 8th. The former Delhi Capitals skipper will be operated for Subluxation on his left shoulder.
“He will have to go under the knife. So, it looks not just the first part of IPL but Iyer will miss the entire IPL. It might take a minimum of four months before he can hit the nets again. He has been under severe pain for many days now,” a source close to BCCI was quoted as saying by PTI.
“Shreyas will get operated on April 8 for his shoulder injury," the source added.
Reacting to this news, DC Fielding coach Mohammad Kaif wished Shreyas all the best and also egged on Rishabh Pant to gear up for the added responsibility as a skipper of the side.
Iyer, 26, who had signed up with English County side Lancashire for the upcoming edition of the Royal London Cup would now miss that tournament as well as it starts from 23rd July. Owing to his four-month ouster and further rehab, Iyer would most probably not be a part of that tournament.
