Irfan Pathan Reacts to Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer’s BCCI Central Contract Omission

Former Indian cricket star Irfan Pathan shares his thoughts on the recent exclusion of Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan from the BCCI central contracts.

It’s worth noting that Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan’s omission from the BCCI central contracts is linked to their non-compliance with the board’s policy on Ranji game involvement.

According to sources, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had suggested that Shreyas Iyer engage in Ranji games after his sudden exclusion from the series against England, but he disregarded the advice and abstained from playing in any of those matches.

In a similar vein to Shreyas Iyer, Ishan Kishan’s actions raise eyebrows. The Ranchi wicket-keeper batter left the South Africa mid-tour, missing the match test series, and hasn’t been selected for any series afterwards. Reports hint at growing tensions between Kishan and the Indian management.

Irfan Pathan’s tweet doesn’t explicitly mention any player, yet fans are drawing connections, speculating that it alludes to the recent omission of Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan from the BCCI central contracts.
