NEW DELHI: Indian batsman Shreyas Iyer has been ruled out of the remaining two One-day Internationals against England after injuring his left shoulder in Tuesday’s opener, the International Cricket Council (ICC) said on Wednesday.
The game’s governing body said the 26-year-old, who captains the Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League, is also likely to miss part of the IPL season.
“Shreyas Iyer is out of the remaining #INDvENG ODIs,” the ICC tweeted. “The batsman was sidelined after he suffered a shoulder injury in the first match while fielding and is likely to miss part of the IPL as well.”
Iyer sustained the injury diving to stop a shot by England opener Jonny Bairstow. The Board of Control for Cricket in India tweeted that he had “subluxated his left shoulder.”
A subluxation is a partial dislocation.
