Addressing shreyas iyer

Addressing Shreyas Iyer: India Head coach Rahul Dravid on Wednesday dispelled speculations surrounding the absence of Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer from the T20 International series against Afghanistan.

Contrary to swirling rumours of disciplinary issues, Dravid asserted that the omissions were purely strategic and devoid of any behavioural concerns.

The revelation came as both Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer found themselves missing from India's 16-member squad set to face Afghanistan in a three-match T20I series commencing on January 11. Dravid, in a pre-series press conference, clarified the situation, starting with Ishan Kishan.
