According to reports, Ishan Kishan was invited to participate in the Ranji Trophy match between Jharkhand and Rajasthan in Jamshedpur, starting on February 16.
The young Indian cricketer decided to take a break from international cricket in order to recharge after experiencing travel fatigue. However, instead of playing in domestic cricket, he has been training in Baroda alongside his Mumbai Indians (MI) captain.
Kishan has been facing criticism for his decision, not only from fans but also from former Indian cricketers. In light of this, a senior member of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) mentioned that the board has been considering making participation in the Ranji Trophy mandatory in order to be eligible for the Indian Premier League (IPL).
According to reports, Kishan was invited to play in the Ranji Trophy match between Jharkhand and Rajasthan in Jamshedpur, starting on February 16. It remains to be seen whether he will take part in the match or not.
The 2024 T20 World Cup is scheduled to begin on June 1, with India’s first match taking place on June 5 in New York. The IPL is set to commence on March 22 and conclude on May 26 this year.
The aforementioned BCCI official stated that no instructions have been given to IPL franchises regarding player workload management. The official mentioned that since the players are highly paid, they do not have the option to choose which games to skip.
However, the BCCI official also mentioned that for those who are likely to participate in the World Cup, their fitness updates will be provided by the franchise’s support staff to Nitin Patel, the head of the National Cricket Academy (NCA) Sports Science department.
