Team India batsman Shreyas Iyer is set to play his first competitive cricket match since sustaining a spleen injury in October. He will represent Mumbai in the Vijay Hazare Trophy match against Himachal Pradesh, but his availability for the New Zealand series will be decided considering his fitness.

Earlier, the right-handed batsman sustained an injury during the ODI match against Australia in Sydney, following which he was hospitalised for a spleen laceration with internal bleeding.
