Ishan Kishan is coming back to action after a long. Midway through the South Africa tour, Ishan Kishan withdrew his name because of mental fatigue. After that, he was never seen in India’s jersey. He missed the Test series against England and other tours. He also got snubbed from the central contract. He’s gearing up for the upcoming domestic season and has been named among the 25 pre-season probables by the Jharkhand State Cricket Association. His return is highly anticipated as he prepares to make an impact this season.
Ishan Kishan Snub from the Team:
In the recent arena of Indian cricket, Ishan Kishan is India’s one of the most talented wicketkeeper batters. He made his debut for India in 2021. From July 2021 to November 2023, Ishan Kishan played two Tests, 27 ODIs, and 32 T20Is. He scored a rare double century in ODIs and was part of India’s 50-overs World Cup squad last year.
His last match for India was in November 2023. After leaving the Indian team in South Africa last December, he was dropped from the squad. It was believed that his frustration over being overlooked for international matches led to this decision. Kishan also refused to play for his state team last season, despite orders from national selectors and the BCCI.
Instead, he chose to play only in the IPL and trained at a Baroda academy. Following these events, the BCCI excluded him from central contracts, leaving his future in the national team uncertain.
His Comeback is on the Way:
Ishan Kishan is set to return for the upcoming domestic season. He has been named in the list of 25 pre-season probables by the Jharkhand State Cricket Association (JSCA). Kishan has confirmed his availability to play for the state team and might be considered for a leadership role.
The specifics of his role are still uncertain, but he has officially informed the JSCA that he is ready to join the state team. The domestic season will start with the Duleep Trophy first-class red ball competition on September 5 in Anantapur, Andhra Pradesh.
Although Kishan is included in the pre-season list, selectors may not consider him for the national team immediately. His chances of rejoining the national squad could improve once he begins representing his state team effectively.
