]Shreyas Iyer Gets BCCI Fitness Nod, Available for Full New Zealand ODI Series
by K D Mishra
Shreyas Iyer has been declared completely fit by the BCCI CoE. He has been picked in the ODI series for India against New Zealand, but his inclusion is subject to his final fitness clearance in the Vijay Hazare Trophy in 2025-26.
He played as the number 4 Position, scored 82 runs from 53 deliveries to pace Mumbai to a strong position under his captaincy in the match against Himachal Pradesh. The BCCI wanted his limbs to be able to take up the pressure of competitive cricket. He is believed to take the ultimate test on January 8 when his side is due to face Punjab. He has already proved enough for the CoE medical team now.

However, now that Shreyas is given a clean health, he is going to take his place in the ODI squad to compete with the Kiwis. The only situation that would have allowed Gaikwad to make the list was in case Shreyas did not get a full recovery.
