India’s promising wicketkeeper batter Ishan Kishan is coming back into competitive cricket. After being away from international cricket, he is all set to come back in domestic cricket. Ishan Kishan is set to make his return to domestic cricket, playing for Jharkhand in the Buchi Babu Invitational Tournament starting August 15 in Chennai. The wicketkeeper-batter is eager to showcase his skills in this upcoming competition.
Ishan’s Absence in the International Cricket:
Ishan Kishan was included in the 2023 ODI World Cup squad and played several matches maintaining good form. However, he returned home midway through the South Africa tour, citing mental fatigue. Despite this setback, he was kept in the squad for future tours.
The team management then asked Kishan to play domestic cricket to regain his form, but he refused. This decision led to him being dropped from the central contract list. Then the team began searching for new wicketkeeper-batters.
After a long break from the game, Kishan made a comeback with the Mumbai Indians in the IPL 2024, marking his return to competitive cricket.
Ishan Kishan Will be Seen in the Buchi Babu Tournament:
The BCCI now requires players who are not in the first-team squad or on the injury list to participate in domestic competitions to be considered for selection. This rule aims to ensure players stay competitive and ready for national duties.
Wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan will follow this new guideline by playing for Jharkhand in the upcoming Buchi Babu Tournament. This move is part of his effort to make a return to the national team.
On this matter, a source said, “Yes, Ishan Kishan is going to play for Jharkhand in the Buchi Babu tournament. It is a prestigious tournament where all top red-ball teams come and play. The conditions are challenging and it’s the right way to prepare yourself for the long domestic grind ahead.”
