India, Aug. 23 -- Former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar fully sympathises with Shreyas Iyer after the right-handed Mumbai batter was left out of the Asia Cup squad. Iyer, 30, has been in fine form in white-ball formats of late. If his Champions Trophy exploits weren't enough, the batter showed his big-hitting skill in the Indian Premier League (IPL) for Punjab Kings, leading the franchise to their first-ever final in 14 years. Iyer smashed more than 600 runs for the team at a strike rate of more than 170.

Chairman of selectors Ajit Agarkar stated that Iyer has done no wrong; however, he was quick to say that even he and the rest of the selection committee did no wrong as they were spoilt for choices when it came to the Asia Cup.
