Shreyas Iyer's recurring lower back injury "isn't looking good at the moment", said India captain Rohit Sharma, who couldn't set a timeframe on the stylish right-hander's comeback to competitive cricket.
Besides the upcoming three-match ODI series against Australia, Iyer could also miss the IPL for Kolkata Knight riders, a franchise he leads in the cash-rich league.
Iyer, who was part of the playing XI, couldn't come out to bat during the Indian innings after his right lower back problems resurfaced after fielding for more than 167 overs during the Australian innings.
