Ishan Kishan, who is out of Team India, has been made the captain of Jharkhand team. The team will face Assam in its first match in Guwahati. This year, Kishan has played in domestic cricket for Jharkhand in Buchi Babu Trophy, India C in Duleep Trophy and Irani Cup for Rest of India.
Jharkhand’s squad for the upcoming Ranji Trophy 2024/25 has been announced. Where Ishan Kishan, who is out of Team India, has been made the captain of the team. The team will face Assam in its first match in Guwahati. This year, Kishan has played in domestic cricket for Jharkhand in Buchi Babu Trophy, India C in Duleep Trophy and Irani Cup for Rest of India.
In February 2024, the 26-year-old player was dropped from the BCCI central contract due to his lack of preference for domestic cricket. At that time, BCCI Secretary Jay Shah had warned top cricketers that domestic cricket remains an important criterion for selection in the national team and not participating in it would have serious consequences.
According to The Indian Express, people close to the player believe that the secretary’s warning was not for Ishan. He said that, Ishan has always given priority to Ranji Trophy. In the 2022-23 season, he was constantly traveling with the Indian cricket team, but despite the busy schedule, he also played a few Ranji Trophy matches and scored centuries against Kerala. Which helped him in making a place in the Indian Test team. All these allegations are nonsense.
