Shreyas Iyer's hopes of returning to India's Test cricket team are fading after a lackluster showing in the Duleep Trophy. With young talents like Sarfaraz Khan and Dhruv Jurel rising, Iyer's place is uncertain.

A BCCI official has declared that middle-order batter Shreyas Iyer is no way in their scheme of things as far as the Test team goes. The official expressed concerns about his form, claiming that the right-hander squandered a golden chance to make big runs in the Duleep Trophy.

Shreyas Iyer has endured a disappointing run in the Duleep Trophy so far, scoring just 104 runs from four innings for India D. The 29 year-old has also failed to find a spot in the Team India squad for the first Test against Bangladesh.

Shreyas Iyer, picked as India D captain, scored just 104 runs in four Duleep Trophy innings, which included dismissal for a duck and one half-century knock.

"At the moment, there's no room for Shreyas to be in the Test team. Who will he replace? Besides, his shot selection has been a concern in Duleep, especially yesterday (Sunday). He was well set and then suddenly played such a shot (off left-arm spinner Shams Mulani ).
