Saba Karim says Shreyas Iyer is not part of the T20 World Cup. Karim feels Iyer will be disappointed. After being reprimanded for the T20 World Cup. Concurring to Karim, Iyer did nothing wrong to be dropped. Shreyas returned to competitive cricket on Wednesday. Also, scoring an unbeaten 47 in Delhi Capitals’ victory over SRH. During match 33 of the Indian Premier League in Dubai. He was out of action following a shoulder injury sustained during the home series.
During the discussion Shreyas Iyer’s comeback. Karim said on the Kheelneeti podcast that Shreyas Iyer is part of the traveling reserves. He has an opportunity to prove that the selectors have made the wrong decision. By not picking him in the T20 World Cup squad.

“Basic rule for selectors is that their memory should not be short. Secondly, there should be continuity in the selection process. It will be very difficult for Shreyas Iyer to accept that he is not part of the T20 World Cup squad. In the home series against England, Shreyas Iyer was the No. 1 quality player in the top order. He performed really well and then got injured. He did nothing wrong. Suddenly, for him to not be part of the team, I think it is really unfair,” Saba Karim said.
Lastly, Karim added that it is not right to forget players who have performed for the team. Just because new members have done well.
“You cannot forget players who have performed for you. Six months back, he was a big player on the team. Just because a new player has come in and scored runs, that doesn’t mean you can forget and exclude your top player who was scoring runs before he got injured. This is a big chance for Shreyas Iyer to prove that what the selectors have done to him is wrong. And, I am sure he will be back in the Indian T20 team soon,” Karim said.
