3 Batsmen who can replace Shreyas Iyer in India squad if he gets ruled out of ICC Cricket World Cup 2023

Three Indian batsmen who can replace Shreyas Iyer in India squad for ICC Cricket World Cup.

Shreyas Iyer, who recently made a comeback in Asia Cup, unfortunately had to miss two crucial matches in the super four stage due to a back spasm. Although the BCCI reported that he's recovering well, this setback raises concerns, especially since he had just returned from a previous injury.

As the World Cup approaches next month, all eyes will be on Shreyas Iyer's fitness. He's included in the 15-man squad for the tournament, but if his fitness doesn't improve, there are other players who could step in to take his place.

Here are 3 Batsmen who can replace Shreyas Iyer in India squad if he gets ruled out of ICC Cricket World Cup 2023

Sanju Samson :

Sanju Samson, who last played in West Indies series and the Ireland series, could potentially get a chance to participate in the World Cup if Shreyas doesn't make the team. Samson hasn't been able to show his full potential when playing for the national team and was not included in Asia Cup squad or the 15-members World Cup squad. Nevertheless, he is eager for another chance to prove himself, and there's a possibility that he might be considered as a backup player for the World Cup.

Tilak Varma :

Tilak Varma had impressive performances in the T20 series against West Indies, earning him a spot in the ongoing Asia Cup squad of 17 players. While he didn't make it into the 15-memebers World Cup squad, there's a chance he could serve as a reserve player. Additionally, he might miss Asian Games if he's kept as a reserve for the World Cup, and if Shreyas isn't fully fit, he could be considered a potential replacement.

Rinku Singh :

Rinku Singh made a successful debut in the T20 series against Ireland and had an outstanding IPL season this year. He has also been chosen for the second-string squad representing India in Asian Games. If Shreyas is unavailable for the World Cup, Rinku could be a strong contender to step in, given his impressive batting performance in the middle order.
