“Obviously I am hoping that if I am selected (in the squad) then I will play as well. We have three matches and if I play even one then it is a good feeling. I am not thinking about playing.
Even if I am sitting out, I will put effort. In the end, the team should win,” Iyer said.
For Iyer to be included in the playing XI, India will have to find a place in the middle-order.
Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan have been the in-form openers for India in limited-overs cricket.
Iyer, however, has said that he has no problem playing at any batting position.
“I am very flexible and I don’t mind batting at any number.
Even in the IPL I was shuffled from number four to number three and it didn’t really matter because I am comfortable playing in any position. If I play the game, I’ll bat at any number and will give my best,” he said.
Iyer has had a good stint with India ‘A’ recently and he led the team to series win in South Africa. He scored a century in the final game against South Africa ‘A’.
