WHY THIS DECISION
He BCCI He came to the decision after middle-order batsman Iyer and wicketkeeper Kishan did not show up to play for their respective state teams in the national competition.
The duo decided to stay away even though a letter from BCCI secretary Jay Shah to the players reportedly made it mandatory for contracted players to be part of domestic tournaments.
Reason given by Iyer: Back and groin pain, but the BCCI medical team found him fine, according to an Indian Express report.
Reason given by Kishan: He sought rest for personal reasons. He did not appear before the National Cricket Academy or the state unit; trained on his behalf.
WHY HARDIK PANDYA KEPT HIS CONTRACT DESPITE NOT PLAYING DOMESTIC CRICKET
Hardik kept his A Grade contract because he was recovering from an ankle injury he suffered during the World Cup and was therefore unable to play any competitive cricket since then.
HOW DOES THIS AFFECT IYER, KISHAN?
In the year of the ICC T20 World Cup, which is scheduled for June and will be jointly hosted by the United States and the West Indies, this seriously hampers the two players’ chances of being selected for the premier T20 tournament.
Iyer had a good ODI World Cup, scoring 468 runs, and Kishan is considered a white-ball specialist. Therefore, not playing the T20 World Cup can hurt his domestic career, especially in limited overs cricket.
CAN THEY RETURN TO THE NATIONAL TEAM WITH A GOOD SHOW IN IPL
That will reportedly be entirely the call of the BCCI Selection Committee, but going by the BCCI’s diktat on participation in domestic cricket, they are now likely to be considered for selection only after performing in the domestic circuit.
Since the BCCI cracked the whip, Iyer returned to the Mumbai team for the Ranji Trophy semi-final against Tamil Nadu, while Kishan played in the DY Patil T20 Cup.
WHAT ROHIT SHARMA SAID
“Jin logon ko bhookh hai, hum unhi logon ko mauka denge. Agar hunger nahi hai to unko khila ke koi matlab nahi hai (We will give opportunities only to those who are hungry to succeed. There is no point in playing with those who are not). I’m not hungry). “
