Shreyas Iyer and Deepak Chahar might miss India’s Cricket World Cup 2023 squad
Shreyas Iyer and Deepak Chahar have had injuries in the past. Iyer missed IPL 2023 due to a back injury, while Chahar was out last year due to multiple injuries. Chahar returned to the Indian team but got injured and missed the T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia. The 2023 Cricket World Cup will happen in India later this year.
Iyer would like to participate, but he will most likely not be fit in time for the tournament, having recently undergone surgery. Chahar has not been part of the Indian ODI team since December last year. It remains to be seen whether he will be recalled in time for the World Cup. Chahar is a promising fast bowler, and his performance could be critical to the Indian team’s success in the tournament.
