India batsman Shreyas Iyer has been included in the list of 45 players announced by the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) for its fitness camp.
Iyer is recovering from a shoulder injury that he had sustained during the England series at home and has been out of action since.
The right-handed batsman missed out on playing the first leg of the IPL for Delhi Capitals and the team was led by Rishabh Pant in his absence but later stated that he would return to play the second leg of the IPL.
"My shoulder, yes, I think the healing process is done. Now it's the last stage of achieving strength and range. So that's going to take about a month and the training is obviously going on. Other than that, I feel, I will be there in the IPL," Iyer said on The Grade Cricketer's Podcast.
The IPL was earlier suspended on May 4 after there was a Covid-19 outburst within the franchises. The cash-rich league will now resume in the UAE in September-October.
Apart from Iyer, the list comprises some big names like Rohit Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane, Prithvi Shaw and Suryakumar Yadav.
"The schedule of the fitness camp will be announced in due course of time," MCA said in a release on its website.
