The 30-year-old injured himself on Saturday while catching to remove Alex Carey, with Iyer holding his abdomen and grimacing in pain after tumbling onto the Sydney Cricket Ground field.
Medical examinations showed a laceration injury to the abdominal organ. He is under treatment, in stable condition, and showing improvement.
