Ishan Kishan continues to avoid playing for Jharkhand
Ishan Kishan has continued to be out of contact with everyone. The star cricketer has made himself unavailable for selection since the Test series against South Africa. Even in the series against Afghanistan in T20Is, the Southpaw was not picked due to him taking a break. It has led to the anger of the fans and the confusion of the officials of the several boards.
Jharkhand Cricket Association have expressed their disappointment regarding the same. They have mentioned in their statement that the WK batter has not been available for calls. Debasish Chakraborty, the secretary of JCA mentioned the fact and added that he would walk into the side as soon as he makes himself available for play. Jharkhand is missing their WK batter in the Ranji trophy.
“We don’t have any information about him. However, he will walk straight into the Playing XI whenever he tells us,” said Debasish to the agency in his statement. There has been uncertainty over the decision of Kishan to take a rest in some of the important series of India. The star batter will now have to wait for his chances to make a comeback to the Indian side.
Ishan Kishan to start from scratch for his comeback!
It is clear that India is looking for KL Rahul as the replacement for Rishabh Pant as the WK batter till the latter returns to the side with full fitness. It means that Kishan must return to domestic cricket and prove himself in order to make a comeback into the side. A statement from the officials of the Cricket Board of India revealed the same recently, which has worsened things.
“Ishan Kishan will have to play domestic cricket first to return to the Indian team. He will have to make himself available and then compete in a Ranji Trophy contest before playing for India,” a statement from the Indian Cricket Board revealed. It was reported that the Indian cricketer did not take the permission of the board to take part in a TV show.
