NEW DELHI: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced its annual central contracts for the 2023-2024 season, and batsmen Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer were not included in the list of 30 players. This decision came after they failed to comply with the BCCI's directive to play in the Ranji Trophy.
Kishan, who plays for Jharkhand, refused to participate in the tournament, while Iyer, from Mumbai, was unavailable for the quarterfinals after his exit from the Indian Test squad.
