This development comes just days after Shreyas Iyer scored a century in Mumbai's convincing nine-wicket win over Maharashtra , which had boosted his chances of a Test recall. However, the injury has now put his comeback plans on hold.

According to a report on Cricbuzz, which quoted BCCI sources, Shreyas Iyer will miss Mumbai's third Ranji Trophy game against Tripura, starting October 26 in Agartala. The exact extent of the injury is not known, but it is understood that he will need to rest for at least a week to recover.
