Ravi Shastri delivers a strong message to Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan, expressing admiration for Jay Shah’s pivotal decision at BCCI.

In a noteworthy development, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has excluded Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan from the central contracts for the 2023-2024 season due to their non-compliance with the directive to participate in the Ranji Trophy. This decision has drawn attention and sparked reactions across the cricketing community.

Former India head coach Ravi Shastri took to social media, praising BCCI secretary Jay Shah for introducing fast bowling contracts, a move seen as a game-changer. Shastri acknowledged the significance of emphasizing Test Cricket and Domestic Cricket, deeming it a powerful message setting the right tone for the future of the sport.

“Big applause to @BCCI and @JayShah for the game-changing move with ‘fast bowling’ contracts. A crucial step in gearing up for Down Under later this year,” Shastri tweeted.

Shastri also extended words of encouragement to Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan, assuring them that comebacks define the spirit of cricket. Despite their unceremonious exits from the central contracts list, Shastri believes in their ability to overcome challenges.

“In the game of cricket, comebacks define the spirit. Chin-up, @ShreyasIyer15 and @ishankishan51! Dig deep, face challenges, and come back even stronger. Your past achievements speak volumes, and I have no doubt you’ll conquer once again,” Shastri added.

Shreyas Iyer, set to lead Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the upcoming IPL season, faced the axe from the central contracts list after being released from India’s Test squad for the England series. Meanwhile, Ishan Kishan, who last played for India in November, received a Grade C contract last year and has been in and out of the national team.

The focus now shifts to how Iyer and Kishan respond to this setback, with their supporters hopeful for strong comebacks on the cricketing stage.
