Young Indian batting duo Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan are set to find themselves in trouble. The two players in question have skipped the Indian domestic matches which started on Friday. Mumbai are playing Assam while Jharkhand are taking on Rajasthan at the old Keenan Stadium.

Jay Shah had sounded a warning alarm and advised the players to take part in Domestic cricket. This latest diktat seems to have fallen on deaf ears of the two players who have missed the matches.

Young Ishan Kishan hasn’t played cricket for India since the T20I series versus Australia. The 25-year-old raised eyebrows after deciding to fly back home ahead of the Tests vs South Africa.

What is the next course of action?

Jay Shah and his warning seems to have fallen on deaf ears of Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer. The two players aren’t part of their respective teams’ Indian domestic games which began on Friday.

During an event on Wednesday night, Jay Shah said “They have been informed on the phone already and I’m going to write letters as well that if your chairman of selectors, your coach and your captain are asking for it then you will have to play red-ball cricket”

“Whoever is fit and young, we are not going to tolerate any other tantrums. This message is for all centrally contracted players. Everyone will have to play, otherwise, the chairman of the selection committee has given me his suggestions and I am going to give him a free hand to let him take his calls freely” Jay Shah had said.

Shreyas Iyer had played the first two Test matches versus England in Hyderabad and Vizag. The 29-year-old didn’t have a great time with the bat and was rested for the final three games. Sarfaraz Khan and Rajat Patida*r were given their debuts during the two games.

It was reported that Iyer is out due to injury, but the speculation was denied by some sources on the board. The biggest reason for Iyer being sidelined is due to his lack of form in recent times. While the saga has taken a new turn, the attention will move to the Indian board and what action they take next.
