Irfan wrote in his post, “It is surprising how someone can be fit to practice but cannot play domestic cricket.. What does this mean?”
In fact, after winning the second Test match against England, when coach Rahul Dravid was asked about Ishaan, the coach had said that he had asked for rest during the South African tour. At the same time, Rahul Dravid had also said about Ishaan’s return that if he would have to play some domestic cricket before returning to the team.
Only then will he be selected in the team. However, even after this message from the team management and Rahul Dravid, Ishaan was not seen playing in Ranji Trophy. Some reports have also claimed that nothing is right between the team management and Ishan Kishan as of now.
