Shreyas Iyer

Shreyas Iyer, the out-of-favour India batter, struggled to make an impact with the bat during the Ranji Trophy semifinal clash between Mumbai and Tamil Nadu on Sunday.

Former cricketer Kirti Azad lends support to the BCCI's directive on Ranji Trophy participation, advocating for its universal application, including top-tier players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli.

Former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan raises concerns over the Board of Control for Cricket in India's (BCCI) decision to deny central contracts to Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer, questioning the apparent inconsistency in comparison to players like Hardik Pandya.

According to a report,there's a proposal on the table to boost match fees and overall remuneration for players, both at the Test level and in domestic cricket, aiming to align them more closely with the earnings from mid-level IPL contracts.

The exclusion of Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan from the BCCI's central contracts for an upcoming season has set social media abuzz with a hilarious meme fest.

The BCCI recently unveiled the central contracts for the 2023-24 season, featuring a Grade A+ category that includes stalwarts like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, and Ravindra Jadeja.

In a boost for Mumbai, Shreyas Iyer, who has recovered from his injury, has been named in the squad for the Ranji Trophy semifinals.

Reports suggest that Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer may miss out on the upcoming BCCI central contracts due to their absence from domestic cricket, raising questions about their commitment despite different reasons for non-participation.

"Virat Kohli will remain unavailable for selection for the remainder of the series due to personal reasons. The Board fully respects and supports Mr. Kohli’s decision," the BCCI said in a release.

Amidst Shreyas Iyer's challenging performance in the first two Tests against England, former cricketer Pragyan Ojha suggests a return to domestic cricket for the batter to secure a spot in the playing XI, especially with the looming comebacks of KL Rahul and Virat Kohli.
