Jay Shah’s stern message to Ishan Kishan
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has taken a significant step by making it mandatory for players to participate in domestic cricket. The crucial move is being seen as an effort by BCCI to strengthen the domestic cricket, requiring players to play domestic cricket to prove their fitness in order to return to team India.
Earlier, this year BCCI also made headlines by omitting stars Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan from the central contract list as they failed to make themselves available in domestic cricket despite being fit. Recently, Shreyas Iyer returned to team India, playing the three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka. On the other hand, Ishan Kishan has yet to make his comeback to team India.
Meanwhile, BCCI secretary Jay Shah has also stressed on the importance of domestic cricket while sending a stern message to Ishan Kishan.
"He will have to follow the rules. He will have to play domestic cricket," Jay Shah told Times of India.
"We have been little strict. When Ravindra Jadeja had got injured, I was the one who called him and asked him to play a domestic game. It's certain now, whoever gets injured and goes out, can only come into the Indian team after proving his fitness in domestic cricket," Shah said.
For the Duleep Trophy, which is scheduled to begin on September 5, management has decided to rest Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya to manage their workload. While, other centrally contracted players have been directed to play the Duleep Trophy. Ishan Kishan is slated to make his return to domestic cricket and has been included in the Team D squad for the upcoming Duleep Trophy. He will play under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer.
