BCCI 'Shreyas Iyer discharged from Sydney hospital'

India batter Shreyas Iyer, who sustained a blunt injury to his abdomen while fielding during the third ODI against Australia on October 25, is stable now and has been discharged from the hospital in Sydney on Saturday, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) said.

Iyer’s awkward fall while taking a catch during Australia’s innings resulted in a laceration of his spleen with internal



bleeding. 

The injury was promptly identified, and the bleeding was immediately arrested following a minor procedure. He has undergone appropriate medical management for the same.

“He is now stable and recovering well. The BCCI Medical Team, along with specialists in Sydney and India, are pleased with his recovery, and he has been discharged from the hospital today,” the BCCI said in a statement.
