Why shreyas iyer not in India-a squaad: The Selection Committee of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced a squad for India-A last Friday (May 17), in which Uncapted Abhimanyu Ishwar was made the captain. Many senior and young players were included in the team, but the name of Shreyas Iyer was not included in it. Seeing Iyer not getting a place in the team, questions started arising in the minds of the fans.

Punjab Kings captaincy in IPL 2025 (Shreyas Iyer)

Shreyas Iyer is commanding Punjab Kings in IPL 2025 being played these days. Punjab seems to be slowly growing towards the playoffs. Most of the players have been selected in India-A, who are not active in the IPL or their team has been eliminated from the playoff race.
