New Delhi, 15/2: Rahul Dravid tried to remain vague about Shreyas Iyer’s return to Test cricket, saying the management will assess his fitness over the course of the next 30-odd hours to take a call on his participation in the second Test against Australia.
But, the Indian coach spent far too much time waxing lyrical about the middle-order bat’s abilities to not pick him in the playing XI at the Arun Jaitley stadium from February 17. More pertinently, Shreyas, who has been out of the side for close to a month, looked at ease during Wednesday’s lengthy training session.
“It’s always nice to have someone back from injury,” said Dravid. “We never like to lose someone because of injury. It’s not nice for us as a team, it’s not nice for the individual either. We’ll take a call in a couple of days. He had a long session today, we’ll assess it tomorrow as well when he comes in for a light hit in the evening.”
