Jay Shah says Ajit Agarkar dropped Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer from the BCCI contract list
The Board of Control for Cricket in India had drafted new player contracts a few months prior. There were two notable names missing from the new contracts: Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer. Chief selector Ajit Agarkar made the decision to remove the two from the list of retainers, as BCCI secretary Jay Shah has now revealed.
Their inability to play domestic cricket was the primary factor in this severe decision. Iyer sustained an injury following the second IND vs. ENG test, while Ishan Kishan had left the Indian squad to take a break. To everyone's surprise, however, the pair chose to defy Jay Shah and Rahul Dravid's directives to not participate for the Ranji Trophy.
Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer are two players who did not play domestic cricket, but it was Ajit Agarkar's choice to remove them from the central contract list. All I have to do is execute. Sanju Samson is one of the new guys we have on the team. No one is necessary, according to Shah.
