Talented India batsman Shreyas Iyer is now fully match fit and cleared by the National Cricket Academy (NCA) to return to competitive action, which is set to
take place when the IPL resumes in the UAE from September 19.

Iyer will rejoin Delhi Capitals, the IPL franchise which he led to the final for the first time in 2020 but his injury meant that Rishabh Pant captained the side during the last edition, which was halted after multiple COVID-19 cases inside the bio-secure bubble.

Iyer, 26, who has played 22 ODIs and 29 T20Is, sustained a horrifying shoulder dislocation during a one-dayer against England in Pune on March 23 and had to undergo a surgery in the United Kingdom.
