A lot of controversy was generated when Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer were dropped from BCCI's central contract due to their reluctance to play domestic cricket.

Shreyas Iyer, who led KKR to victory in IPL 2024, has been recalled to the ODI squad under the mentorship of Gautam Gambhir.

For Ishan Kishan, the only way to return to the Indian colors is by performing well in domestic cricket.

Performing just in the IPL won't be enough for Ishan Kishan, who faces competition from Sanju Samson, KL Rahul, and Rishabh Pant for the wicket-keeper's slot.

When star players Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer were declined renewal of their central contracts, BCCI ensured that domestic stars reaped the rewards.

Riyan Parag, Harshit Rana, Abhishek Sharma, and Ruturaj Gaikwad are some of the names that have gained the selectors' attention with their performances in both domestic cricket and the IPL.

If reports are to be believed, Ishan Kishan's name is currently far from the selectors’ minds when picking the national team across formats. The message is clear—domestic performances hold the key.
