Former Team India veteran Sourav Ganguly has questioned keeping Shreyas Iyer out of the upcoming Test series against England. Shreyas has shown excellent form in the last one year and was the batsman to score the most runs for Punjab Kings in IPL 2025. In the absence of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, Shreyas was considered a strong contender for middle-order, but he could not make a place in the last team. Ganguly believes that Shreyas should have chosen on the basis of his current form. Ganguly said that Iyer is a player you cannot do out.

What did Sourav Ganguly say

Sourav Ganguly said that he has been playing in his best form for the last one year and should have been in this team. His performance has been excellent in the last one year. He is now scoring runs under pressure, taking responsibility, playing the short ball well. Yes, Test cricket is different, but I would give him a chance in this series to see what he can do.
