NEW DELHI: Team India batter Shreyas Iyer is being treated at a Sydney hospital, and the Indian vice-captain’s family could soon be at his side. It is reliably known that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is expediting formalities to ensure that a family member can travel to Sydney at the earliest. It is not yet clear at this stage when this will happen. “Arrangements are being made by the BCCI. As of now, it is not clear whether both parents will come, but someone will be with him at the hospital at the earliest,” said a source monitoring the developments. As TimesofIndia.com had reported earlier, Iyer continues to be in the intensive care unit (ICU) due to internal bleeding after the nasty fall during the third ODI against Australia and will remain there for at least the next two days. His stay could even be extended by up to a week if the situation does not improve in the next 48 hours. The medical team following him is waiting for the bleeding to stop to decide what action to take. He is being closely monitored by the team of doctors in Sydney and the Indian cricket team doctor continues to accompany him. “Shreyas Iyer suffered an impact injury to the left lower region of the rib cage while playing during the third ODI against Australia in Sydney on October 25, 2025. He was taken to hospital for further evaluation,” read a BCCI statement on Iyer. “Scans revealed a laceration to his spleen. He is under treatment, medically stable and recovering well. The BCCI medical team, in consultation with specialists in Sydney and India, is closely monitoring the status of his injury. The Indian team doctor will remain in Sydney with Shreyas to assess his day-to-day progress.”
