In the Twitter post, Lancashire Cricket Director Paul Allott stated about Iyer’s availability: “He's damaged his left shoulder and he's now going to have an operation in the next week or so. When that has taken place, we'll reassess and have a much clearer idea of where he's going to be fitness-wise. But everybody's got their fingers crossed that he'll be available for us.”
Noteworthy, Lancashire had earlier announced that Iyer will arrive at Emirates Old Trafford on July 15 for the 2021 Royal London Cup and will remain with the Red Rose for the month-long group stages.
Recently, the Indian batsman was ruled out of the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021, and Delhi Capitals named Rishabh Pant as their captain for this season.
