Ishan Kishan opens up on BCCI contracts snub after returning back to form: ’I was practicing...’

Months after returning to the field, India's star wicket-keeper batter Ishan Kishan has bounced back to form for Mumbai Indians in the ongoing Indian Premier League 2024. Despite India's head coach Rahul Dravid and BCCI secretary Jay Shah requesting him to play Ranji Trophy, Kishan decided to prepare for IPL with his MI captain Hardik Pandya. "Please note that Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan were not considered for the annual contracts in this round of recommendations," the BCCI said in an official statement. It was expected that Kishan would play domestic cricket during his time away from the national team, but the wicketkeeper-batter was absent from his state team Jharkhand's Ranji Trophy matches.
