"The BCCI will continue to monitor player availability and participation in the upcoming domestic cricket season, 2024-25." This statement included in the BCCI press release on Thursday, which announced India's T20I and ODI squads for the tour of Sri Lanka, is a clear message to India internationals to remain available for competitions in the domestic circuit whenever they are are not selected for the Indian team.
While the 2024-25 domestic season begins only in September with the Duleep Trophy, the statement is a kind of manadate from the BCCI with an imprint of India's new head coach Gautam Gambhir, who has been vocal about players featuring in all three formats and honing their skills accordingly.
