Exclusive: BCCI makes domestic participation mandatory for national team selection

India Today  

The Board of Control for Cricket in India has made it mandatory for all players to participate in domestic matches to remain eligible for national team selection and central contracts. Rohit Sharma has since been spotted attending Mumbai’s practice sessions ahead of the Ranji Trophy resumption on January 23, signaling a potential return to domestic cricket. Meanwhile, players like Rishabh Pant, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Shubman Gill have confirmed their availability for upcoming domestic fixtures, showing a growing recognition of domestic cricket’s value among India’s established and emerging stars. Cricketing legends such as Sunil Gavaskar and Ravi Shastri, along with India’s current head coach Gautam Gambhir, have stressed the importance of domestic cricket in developing and sustaining player form. By mandating domestic cricket participation, the BCCI hopes to close the gap between domestic and international formats, creating a strong talent pipeline and ensuring India’s continued dominance in world cricket.
