Shreyas Iyer would've 'never made it to squad' for England tour, needs to wait: 'Sarfaraz Khan is not...'
Former India batter Aakash Chopra reckons there was no chance of Shreyas Iyer being selected for the England Test series due to the existing competition for the middle-order spots. When the squad was announced for the five-Test series, there was a lot of anger directed towards head coach Gautam Gambhir and chairman of selectors, Ajit Agarkar, for ignoring Shreyas, who has had a good first-class season for Mumbai. Former India opening batter Aakash Chopra reckons Shreyas Iyer needs to wait for his chance(PTI) When the squad was announced for the England series, there was public sentiment towards Shreyas. He had led Punjab Kings to the final of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, so many questioned leaving the right-hander out despite his strong performances. Shreyas Iyer last played a Test against England in 2024. He was dropped from the squad midway through the series. He was then asked to play Ranji Trophy. However, he failed to turn up for the state, prompting the BCCI to leave him out of the central contracts list. Strong performances in white-ball cricket have led to Shreyas's return to the contracts list. However, a Test return is still awaited. Also Read: Shreyas Iyer has 'got real hunger in his eyes' to prove Ajit Agarkar wrong Chopra reckons the likes of Sarfaraz Khan and Dhruv Jurel are still waiting for their chance. Hence, it is only fair that Shreyas has to wait for his chance to be included in the squad. 'There is no problem with the batting as such. But he has to wait for his chances; he won't get a chance straightaway right now. He would've never made it to the squad for the England tour. The remaining ones also haven't had their chance,' Chopra said on his YouTube channel. 'If you think about it, Karun Nair has played just now. Sarfaraz Khan is not being given the chances. Dhruv Jurel is sitting outside. The players who are already there, if they aren't only getting the chances, then how can Shreyas Iyer get a look in?' he added. 'Shreyas needs to wait' Aakash Chopra also stated that no one can deny Shreyas's good season, but he needs to wait for his chances in the longest format of the game. 'I know he had a good first-class season. He had a good IPL, took Punjab Kings to the final. He did well in white-ball cricket, but his time will come. He will have to wait just a little bit,' said Chopra. When the squad was announced for the England Tests, the chairman of selectors, Ajit Agarkar, had said that despite his strong performances, Shreyas would not be included in the 18-member team. "Yes, Shreyas Iyer has played well in domestic cricket, but at the moment, there is no room for him on the Test Team," he said while speaking to reporters in Mumbai. The 30-year-old Shreyas Iyer has so far played 14 Tests, scoring 811 runs at an average of 36.81. He has one century and five fifties to his name in the longest format.

Shreyas Iyer papped in Mumbai amid buzz over love life—VIDEO
On June 27, 2025, fans were treated to a rare, off-the-field sighting of Shreyas Iyer as he was papped in Mumbai. The stylish cricketer was seen outside a local café, dressed in a laid-back black monogram tee and shorts. In the video, Iyer appeared relaxed, smiling during a casual conversation with someone off-camera. But even a candid coffee shop moment could not escape the public gaze, especially as Iyer's off-field life—both personal and professional—continues to be a subject of intense speculation. Girlfriend or guesswork? The two women linked to Iyer Iyer's love life has become prime gossip fuel, and much of it remains unconfirmed. Two names continue to dominate the chatter—Trisha Kulkarni and Edin Rose. According to India Times, Trisha Kulkarni, a professional in AI and machine learning, has been quietly linked to Iyer since she was spotted at Team India's Diwali celebration and seen alongside his sister at multiple matches. Though she maintains a private profile, her consistent presence at Iyer's key moments has kept the rumors alive. But then came Edin Rose's explosive claim. The Bigg Boss 18 alumna told Filmygyan earlier this month that she's 'already married to Shreyas Iyer in [her] mind' and believes she's the future mother of his children. The Dubai-based actress and influencer's bold confession has set social media ablaze, though Iyer himself has made no public comment on either front. With silence from his end, the mystery only deepens. Cricketing career crossroads: Omitted but not out? While fans gush over his charm, Iyer faces a professional pause. Despite a strong domestic season and a brilliant IPL 2025 performance, he was left out of India's Test squad against England. Chief selector Ajit Agarkar admitted in a press conference that Iyer 'has played well' but wasn't accommodated due to team composition. Iyer ended IPL 2025 with 604 runs. Despite his impressive knock of 97 against the Gujarat Titans and a crucial 87 in Qualifier 2, his performance in the final raised questions about his temperament under pressure. Iyer himself admitted, 'The job is still half done,' vowing to lead Punjab Kings to the title next season.

Photos: After being ignored for England Tests, Shreyas Iyer holidays in Kazakhstan
Pictures of Shreyas Iyer on vacation in Kazakhstan have gone viral on social media (Image via X/@AnuranDey_96) Star Indian batter Shreyas Iyer has opted for a quiet break in Kazakhstan after a rollercoaster month on the field and a notable omission from India's Test squad for the ongoing series against England. Iyer, who recently led the Punjab Kings (PBKS) to the IPL 2025 final and then captained the SoBo Mumbai Falcons in the T20 Mumbai League, found himself on the losing side in two consecutive high-stakes matches. Despite a stellar run with PBKS, who topped the IPL league table with nine wins and 19 points, Iyer's side fell agonisingly short in the title clash, losing to Royal Challengers Bengaluru by just six runs. He returned to domestic action almost immediately, turning out for the SoBo Mumbai Falcons in the T20 Mumbai League. The Falcons, guided by Iyer's experienced leadership, reached the final but were defeated by Mumbai South Central Maratha Royals by five wickets — adding another near-miss to Iyer's summer.
