India’s Shreyas Iyer discharged from hospital after spleen injury in Sydney

Indian cricketer Shreyas Iyer has been discharged from a Sydney hospital after receiving treatment for a spleen laceration sustained during the third one-day international match against Australia. The injury occurred last week when Iyer attempted to catch a ball to dismiss Alex Carey, resulting in a painful fall that left him clutching his side. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed the news on Saturday, stating that the 30-year-old batsman suffered a blunt abdominal injury, which led to internal bleeding and a life-threatening condition. The BCCI emphasized that the injury was swiftly diagnosed, and the bleeding was controlled through a minor procedure. Iyer has since undergone comprehensive medical care, and the BCCI medical team, alongside specialists in Sydney and India, expressed satisfaction with his recovery. Iyer will remain in Sydney for further consultations and will return to India once medically cleared to travel.
