India's star batter Shreyas Iyer is out of the national side's Super Four face-off versus Sri Lanka, in Colombo, on Tuesday (September 12) in the ongoing Asia Cup 2023 edition. Iyer had a back spasm just before the India-Pakistan clash, which kicked off on Sunday afternoon (September 10) and ended on Monday evening (September 11), on the reserve day. With Iyer out of action versus Pakistan, KL Rahul replaced him at the last minute and slammed an impressive 111 not out in India's big win over arch-rivals Pakistan (by 228 runs).&nbsp;

Now, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) reported that Iyer will continue to sit out due to his back issues. Ahead of the Sri Lanka game on Tuesday afternoon, BCCI said in a statement, "Shreyas Iyer is feeling better but is yet to fully recover from back spasm. He has been advised rest by the BCCI Medical Team and has not travelled with the team to the stadium today for India's Super 4 match against Sri Lanka."

Iyer returned to the Indian team after a long time. In early 2023, during the home Border-Gavaskar Trophy versus Australia, the right-hander was deemed unfit due to his persistent back issues. While the Indian team management kept a close watch on his recovery, he missed a lot of action at the highest level before joining the Indian squad for the Asia Cup. Iyer played India's tournament-opener, versus Pakistan, where he looked good in his short stay (14) before his back issues resurfaced prior to the toss of the India-Pakistan Super Four clash.&nbsp;

With the ODI World Cup less than a month away from commencement, on October 05 in Ahmedabad, India, Iyer's fitness will be closely monitored by Team India. It is to be noted that all the participating teams can make changes to their 15-man squad until September 28.

Asia Cup: Shreyas Iyer 'advised rest by BCCI Medical Team' as star batter misses Sri Lanka face-off

At the coin toss of the India-Pakistan Super 4 meet in the ongoing Asia Cup, in Colombo, Indian fans were dealt with a major blow as Rohit Sharma revealed that No. 4 batter Shreyas Iyer is out of the clash due to a back spasm. Iyer returned to international cricket after a long gap after a back injury. So far, he got only one opportunity with the bat -- in India's tournament opener where he scored 14 versus arch-rivals Pakistan -- and, thus, was being keenly observed for the remainder of the competition. But his back concerns have resurfaced.&nbsp;

With less than a month left for the ODI World Cup, which kicks off on October 05 in west Indian city of Ahmedabad, Team India cannot afford to be unsure of their middle order due to Iyer's injury concerns.

Former cricketers 'Little Master' Sunil Gavaskar and Harbhajan Singh reacted to Iyer's persistent back issues during the Pakistan clash in the Super 4 stage of the Asia Cup.

Gavaskar told India Today, "It's a worry definitely. If a player is out for 5-6 months due to an injury and then has it again within a month before the World Cup, yes it is an area of concern. Luckily, you can make changes in your World Cup team, and in case he is unfit and doesn't recover then there will be somebody who will replace him. It is sad because he looked good in that match against Pakistan. He played a lovely cover drive."

Meanwhile, Harbhajan said, "Injuries are part and parcel of the game. But getting injured that often is either bad luck or you are making a position for KL Rahul. I think getting injured at this point in time is going to hurt his position in the team as well and make things correct for KL Rahul. It is very worrying that players are getting injured again and again and it is mostly to do with the kind of training they do. So that is the question NCA needs to answer because that is where players go and rehabilitate and train themselves. And what KL Rahul brings to this table is stability in the batting line-up."

Team India is expected to provide a detailed update on&nbsp;Iyer's fitness sooner than later. However, he will be closely monitored by the team management, as frequent injury concerns will surely not help his case so close to the ODI World Cup. All the teams can make changes to their squad until September 28.&nbsp;

Ind vs Pak, Asia Cup: Sunil Gavaskar, Harbhajan Singh have this to say on injury-prone Shreyas Iyer

India's star middle-order batter Shreyas Iyer has been ruled out of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 edition. The two-time winners Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), who got off to a losing start in the ongoing edition, were dealt with a huge blow when Shakib Al Hasan withdraw from the current season and now more miseries have been added with their regular captain Iyer being ruled out. In addition, Iyer will miss the upcoming ICC World Test Championship (WTC) final between India and Australia, at The Oval, London, in early June as he will undergo a back surgery.

As per ESPNcricinfo, Iyer will be travelling overseas for the surgery and, thus, will be out of cricketing action for at least three months before he resumes training. The 28-year-old has been dealing with back issues for a long time. He had missed the first Test of the home Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2022/23 edition before his back complaints resurfaced during the final Test, in Ahmedabad. As a result, he missed the three-match ODI series versus Australia. Before the India-Australia Tests, he&nbsp;had experienced problems due to the same injury in December after the end of India's tour of Bangladesh.

In Iyer's absence, Nitish Rana was made KKR's interim captain and will now lead the side in the remainder of the IPL 2023 edition. Moreover, Rohit Sharma-led India will have to find a suitable replacement for Iyer before they square off versus Australia in the WTC finale, to be held in the United Kingdom soon after the conclusion of the ongoing IPL season.

Meanwhile, Iyer is expected to remain out of action till June end but it will all depend on how his surgery goes abroad. The batter will be aiming to return to the Indian team before Asia Cup 2023, which will be followed by the ICC ODI World Cup -- to be held in India in October-November.
