Ishan Kishan has once again quit playing domestic cricket. It started today with Jharkhand Vs. Rajasthan did not field its state team in the Ranji match. It was believed that this time he would be a part of Jharkhand's playing eleven by following the instructions of BCCI, but he once again ignored these instructions. It will be interesting to see what action BCCI takes on this attitude of Ishan Kishan.
Ishan out of the team
This attitude of Ishaan Kishan can be considered as rebellion. Actually, in December last year, Ishaan had withdrawn his name from the Test series against South Africa. BCCI had then said that Ishaan has taken this break due to personal reasons. However, a report later revealed that Ishaan withdrew from the team due to mental exhaustion. The reason for this fatigue is said to be that Ishan has been with Team India for a long time but he was given a chance in the playing eleven only when an important player was injured or unavailable.
Advice to Ishaan to play Ranji
After this, a report also revealed that when Ishan Kishan, who had taken a break from cricket citing mental fatigue, was holidaying abroad, the BCCI was upset with his attitude. The report also revealed that BCCI has advised Ishan to regain his form by playing Ranji cricket. However, Isha did not follow BCCI's advice and has not played a single Ranji match since January. On the contrary, he thought it best to practice individually. Recently he was seen preparing for IPL with Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya. At the same time, Team India coach Rahul Dravid has also made it clear that the doors of his return to Team India will open only when Ishan performs well in domestic cricket.
Had to be out of Afghanistan series also
Due to this attitude of Ishan Kishan, he did not even get a chance in the T20 series against Afghanistan. Even in the Test series of England, the selectors gave him a chance to Dhruv Jurel in his place. Now it remains to be seen how BCCI reacts to Ishaan's rebellious attitude.
