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.

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.

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.

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.

"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 ).
