‘Your Past Achievements…’ – Ravi Shastri’s Bold Remarks on Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan’s BCCI Contract Snub
BCCI snub Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer from central contract for 2023-24
Former India head coach Ravi Shastri has responded after both Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan were omitted from the Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) central contracts, lifting their morale to bounce back stronger.
Taking to X [Formerly Twitter], here’s what Ravi Shasti has said:
“In the game of cricket, comebacks define the spirit. Chin-up, @ShreyasIyer15 and @ishankishan51! Dig deep, face challenges, and come back even stronger. Your past achievements speak volumes, and I have no doubt you’ll conquer once again.”
Why Shreyas Iyer And Ishan Kishan Have Been Excluded From BCCI Central Contract?
It’s been reported that despite the BCCI advising Shreyas Iyer to partake in Ranji games subsequent to his removal mid-series against England, he opted not to comply and refrained from participating in any of those fixtures.
Similarly, Ishan Kishan’s situation echoes Shreyas Iyer’s. Kishan returned to India during the South Africa tour, missing the match test series, and hasn’t been included in any series thereafter. Reports indicate a strain in relations between Kishan and the Indian management.
