While players are on a week-long break with the series against England squared 1-1, there have been several rounds of telephonic deliberations among the national selectors with injury concerns and workload management dominating discussions. The official squad announcement is awaited with the team to re-assemble in the Gujarat town on Sunday evening.

Iyer, it is learnt, complained of a stiff back and groin pain to the team management after the Visakhapatnam Test. The Mumbai batter has had troubles with a lower back issue showing up during the fourth Test against Australia last year. This after he had to undergo a back surgery due to a slipped disc.
