Sourav Ganguly pinched by Ishan Kishan, Shreyas Iyer's thumbs down to BCCI's Ranji mandate: 'Such a big IPL contract...'

Hindustan Times  

Former India captain Sourav Ganguly has weighed in on the BCCI's decision to terminate Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer's central contracts after the batting duo failed to adhere to the board's mandate of prioritising Ranji Trophy over the IPL. The mail sent out by BCCI secretary Jay Shah to all players under contract made it mandatory for them to give importance to First-Class cricket, but while Kishan used this time to train with Hardik Pandya, Iyer decided to not feature for Mumbai owing to a 'back spasm', claims which were later denied by an NCA physio. Ganguly, the former BCCI president, expressed disappointment over Kishan and Iyer's reluctance towards playing Ranji Trophy, saying their decision took him by surprise. Ganguly expected more from Kishan, Iyer Kishan returned to competitive cricket for the first time in three months when he turned up at the DY Patil Tournament, while Iyer, just two days ago, made himself available for Mumbai's Ranji semifinal.
