US EditionShreyas Iyer Out for Two Months After Spleen Laceration, Undergoing Emergency Embolization Procedure: Report
Shreyas Iyer underwent emergency embolization for a spleen laceration and will miss about two months, including the ODI series against South Africa, officials said.
- Last week, Shreyas Iyer suffered a spleen laceration while taking a catch in the third ODI, causing internal bleeding and hospital admission in Sydney, and he is set to miss cricket for two months, possibly missing the ODI series against South Africa.
- Iyer underwent an emergency interventional trans-catheter embolization to stop bleeding in his spleen, while the BCCI denied reports that he had surgery.
- Iyer was removed from the ICU on Monday, has been able to walk, eat solid food and talk to people while recovering in hospital, and is expected to stay a few more days before returning to India.
- He could make a return in the ODI series at home against New Zealand in January next year, but absence through the end of the year would curtail his hopes of forcing into the T20I squad before the 2026 World Cup.
- Iyer thanked well-wishers on X and Instagram for their messages and said he is in the recovery process and getting better.
