BCCI provides medical assistance and recovery roadmap remains unclear
Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) The ICC has given priority to Iyer’s health over his early return, saying that the batsman will remain in Sydney until doctors declare him completely fit for the trip. Iyer is out of danger but will continue to rest under observation for several days. Although doctors say his spleen injury can heal with time and rest, the recovery period may extend beyond two weeks.
Iyer’s family, who is currently in Mumbai, is preparing to join him in Australia after the visa clearance is completed. Until then, some close friends have been supporting him in the hospital. The BCCI has ensured continuous medical and logistical support, which shows the seriousness with which they are handling the situation.
