New Delhi. Indian cricket team batsman Shreyas Iyer has been given the command of India D in the Duleep Trophy.

Now the Indian team is going to play a Test series against Bangladesh. Shreyas Iyer has a chance to return to the team by scoring runs in the Duleep Trophy. The selectors have made him the captain of India Day.
