NCA clears Shreyas Iyer for competitive action, Delhi Capitals fret over captaincy issue

Firstpost  

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-bubble. New Delhi: Talented India batsman Shreyas Iyer is now fully match-fit and cleared by the National Cricket Academy to return to competitive action, which is set to take place when the IPL resumes in the UAE from 19 September. “This couldn’t have happened at a better time with India’s T20 World Cup campaign in two months time,” a senior BCCI source told PTI on the condition of anonymity. A school of thought is that Iyer led the side well and DC reached their first final last year but Pant is also a young superstar in his own right.
