Due to his prolonged injury, the 28-year-old may also miss the much-awaited World Test Championship final scheduled for June 7, 2023, and the upcoming IPL 2023 season.
Iyer, who leads Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL, has been replaced by a stand-in captain due to his ongoing injury issues.

Following his withdrawal from the fourth Test of the Border Gavaskar Trophy due to a recurring injury, India captain Rohit Sharma revealed that Shreyas Iyer’s scans did not indicate good news.
It remains to be seen when Iyer will be able to make his comeback. He will be hoping for a speedy recovery to continue his cricketing career.
