So Australian fans were waiting for Rashid’s return in the upcoming BBL season, but now he has not registered himself for this tournament.

“He has to follow the rules, play domestic cricket”- Jay Shah said on Ishan Kishan’s arbitrariness
BCCI secretary Jay Shah recently admitted that he had removed both these cricketers from the central contract to send them a message.

Jay Shah sent a strong message regarding Ishan Kishan Jai Shah was quoted by Times of India as saying, “If you look at the Duleep Trophy team, apart from Rohit and Virat, others will play. Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan are playing Duleep Trophy because of the strict measures taken by me,” Jai Shah told Times of India. He further said, “We have been a bit strict. When Ravindra Jadeja was injured, I called him and asked him to play domestic matches. Now it is certain that whoever goes out due to injury can come back to the Indian team only after proving his fitness in domestic cricket.” BCCI secretary Jay Shah has given a short but clear message regarding Ishan’s return. He says that any player hoping to return to the national team will have to give importance to domestic cricket. He clearly said that Ishan will have to follow the rules of the board. Shah said, “He will have to follow the rules. He will have to play domestic cricket.”

If we had got a little more time in the first Test, its result would have been in front of everyone.’ Temba Bavuma praised his team’s bowlers Temba Bavuma further said, ‘I think the bowlers played their role very well. Keshav Maharaj bowled half the overs of the innings and he performed very well. The confidence in the team is increasing a lot. This team is at a very high level and they also have less experience. We want that all the players together perform brilliantly and play an important role in their team’s victory.’ In the first Test match, South Africa scored 357 runs after losing all wickets in their first innings, after which the host was all out for 233 runs in their first innings.

He retired after playing the first Test match of this series. I want to make my career in T20 format James Anderson According to PA news agency, the veteran bowler said, “There is a little interest in the shorter format because I have not played for any franchise before. Watching The Hundred this year and seeing the ball swing, I feel that I can perform in it. I am probably in a bit of denial because I know very well that I will never play for England again but I have not yet made any decision on my cricket career.” He further said, “Once this summer is over, I can sit down and think if I want to play any form of cricket again next year. I am ready to think about any form of cricket. I am fit enough to play right now and I am not keeping myself away from anything.” However, Anderson is aware of his age. He said, “It is difficult to know whether people are interested in seeing me in such a format or not. So we will wait and see. I know it has been a long time since I played this and the issue of my age will be raised again. But I really think I am fit enough to play this format of cricket.”
