BCCI's Stern Warning For Players' 'Non-Participation In Domestic Cricket'

Ishan Kishan has been in the news for the past two months. The prominent Indian cricket team player opted for a break from cricket and returned home during the India Tour of South Africa last year. Subsequently, Ishan Kishan has been absent from competitive action. During this period, Indian cricket team coach Rahul Dravid emphasised that Ishan Kishan would need to participate in a form of the game to make a comeback to the national team.

Just last week, BCCI secretary Jay Shah expressed that players choosing domestic cricket over the IPL was not expected.

“There is a recent trend that has started to emerge and is a cause for concern. Some players have begun prioritising the IPL over domestic cricket, a shift that was not anticipated. Domestic cricket has always been the foundation upon which Indian cricket stands, and it has never been undervalued in our vision for the sport,” Shah wrote in a letter addressed to players as per ESPNcricinfo.

“Our vision for Indian cricket has been clear from the outset – every cricketer aspiring to play for India must prove themselves in domestic cricket. Performance in domestic cricket remains a critical yardstick for selection and non-participation in domestic cricket will carry severe implications,” he added.
