DTVHINDI“If this happens, Indian cricket will not get the desired result”- Irfan Pathan’s tweet on Ishan and Iyer’s ouster.
Star cricketers Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer have been removed from the central contract of BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India). Team India’s former veteran all-rounder Irfan made a tweet regarding these two players which is now rapidly going viral on social media. BCCI recently announced the contracts for the 2023-24 season, and Kishan-Iyer were not included in the list due to not playing domestic cricket. Irfan Pathan was also a little surprised to see the names of Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer not in this list of central contracts. The former all-rounder posted about this on X and expressed hope that both Kishan and Iyer will make a strong comeback for the Indian team. He also talked about how the rules should remain the same for everyone after BCCI mentioned star all-rounder Hardik Pandya’s name in the contract list. Irfan Pathan posted about Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer Irfan Pathan posted an ex and wrote, “Both Shreyas and Ishaan are talented cricketers. Hopefully they will bounce back and come back stronger. If players like Hardik don’t want to play red-ball cricket, should he and other players like him participate in white-ball domestic cricket when not on national duty? If this is not applied to all, Indian cricket will not be able to achieve the desired results!” They are talented cricketers, both Shreyas and Ishan. Hoping they bounce back and come back stronger. If players like Hardik don’t want to play red ball cricket, should he and others like him participate in white-ball domestic cricket when they aren’t on national duty? If this… — Irfan Pathan (@IrfanPathan) February 29, 2024 The surprising thing is that Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer did not get the central contract because both of them did not play in Ranji Trophy. However, Shreyas Iyer played Ranji Trophy after the South Africa tour and then was also a part of the Test team. Now he is also going to play the semi-finals, but the selectors did the same with him as they did with Ishaan. According to BCCI rules, if a player has played 3 Tests, 8 ODIs or 10 T20I matches from October 1 till the release of the central contract, then he is included in the central contract. Both Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer fit into this. He did not find a place in the list of annual contracts, while Hardik Pandya, who was out of World Cup 2023 after only five matches, has been included in A grade.

Now Sunil Gavaskar gave a big reaction on Rohit Sharma’s comment, said- You have loyalty towards Indian cricket.
Sunil Gavaskar and Rohit Sharma. (Image Source: Getty Images/X) After winning the fourth test match against England, former India captain Sunil Gavaskar has given his comment on the recent statement of current India captain Rohit Sharma. Rohit had said after the Ranchi Test match that now only those people will get a place in the team who have the hunger to play Test cricket. Now Sunil Gavaskar also seems to agree with this statement of Rohit Sharma to a great extent. During the press conference, Rohit Sharma had said, “Test cricket is the toughest format. And if you want success and want to excel in this tough format then you need that hunger. It is very important. We will only give chances to players who have that hunger. “You can tell just by looking at those who are not hungry.” Sunil Gavaskar came in support of Rohit Sharma Whereas Sunil Gavaskar believes that whatever Rohit Sharma said is right. He agreed with the Indian captain’s claim that players aspiring to participate in Test cricket should be assessed on the basis of their commitment considering the success, fame and recognition they have achieved in Indian cricket. During a conversation on Sports Tak, Sunil Gavaskar said, ‘He is absolutely right. You see those who want to play Test cricket. I’ve been saying this for years. Whatever the players are, they are because of Indian cricket. The stage he is at in his life and career is all because of Indian cricket. The money, fame and recognition he has received is because of Indian cricket. So you have to show some loyalty towards Indian cricket.” He further said that, if you don’t show up for any reason and say ‘I won’t play’, then Rohit is absolutely right that those who have the hunger, who are willing to put in the effort, will be given more opportunities in the future. . If the selectors continue to have this attitude then it will be good for Indian cricket. We have seen many players being picked and selected, this should not happen.
