On Wednesday, Iyer and Kishan were not included in the 30-member BCCI Central Contracts list running from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024. In the previous season, Iyer held a Grade B contract, while Kishan had a Grade C contract.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIn 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,\u201d wrote Shastri on Twitter.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Ishan had been out of cricketing action after pulling out of India\u2019s Tests against South Africa last year due to personal reasons. He was reported to be training in Baroda and missed the entire Ranji Trophy campaign for Jharkhand. Recently, Ishan returned to action via the ongoing DY Patil T20 tournament in Navi Mumbai.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
On the other hand, after being omitted from India\u2019s Test squad for last three Tests against England, Shreyas missed Mumbai\u2019s Ranji Trophy quarter-final against Baroda reportedly due to back issues, despite the NCA reportedly passing him fit. Iyer has been named in Mumbai\u2019s squad for the Ranji Trophy semi-final against Tamil Nadu starting on March 2 at BKC Ground.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"Please note that Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan were not considered for the annual contracts in this round of recommendations. The BCCI has recommended that all athletes give precedence to participating in domestic cricket during periods when they are not representing the national team,\" BCCI secretary Jay Shah said in a statement while releasing the central contracts list.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In a progressive move for Indian cricket, the Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee has recommended fast-bowling contracts for Akash Deep, who made his Test debut in the fourth game of the ongoing series against England at Ranchi, Umran Malik, Vijaykumar Vyshak, Vidwath Kaverappa and Yash Dayal.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"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. The emphasis on Test Cricket and Domestic Cricket is a powerful message, setting the right tone for the future of our beloved sport!\" added Shastri, a member of India\u2019s 1983 Men\u2019s ODI World Cup winning team.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Apart from Shreyas and Ishan, there are no places for Cheteshwar Pujara, Shikhar Dhawan, Umesh Yadav, Deepak Hooda and Yuzvendra Chahal in the central contracts list. Yashasvi Jaiswal, the leading run-getter in the ongoing Test series against England, is a new entrant in the central contracts and finds himself in Grade B.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Rinku Singh, Tilak Verma, Ruturaj Gaekwad, Shivam Dube, Ravi Bishnoi, Jitesh Sharma, Mukesh Kumar, Prasidh Krishna, Avesh Khan and Rajat Patidar are the other newbies in the central contracts list at Grade C.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2024\/02\/shastri-urges-shreyas-ishan-to-come-back-stronger-after-bcci-central-contracts-omission.jpg", "alt_img": "Shastri urges Shreyas & Ishan to come back stronger after BCCI central contracts omission", "alt_title": "Shreyas Iyer,Ishan Kishan,", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "Shastri Urges Shreyas & Ishan To Come Back Stronger After BCCI Central Contracts Omission On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "Shastri Urges Shreyas & Ishan To Come Back Stronger After BCCI Central Contracts Omission, BCCI Central Contracts: Former India head coach Ravi Shastri has urged the duo of Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan to.", "seo_keywords": "New Delhi, Former India, Ravi Shastri, Shreyas Iyer, Ishan Kishan, On Wednesday, BCCI Central Contracts, South Africa, Ranji Trophy, DY Patil T20, Navi Mumbai, Tamil Nadu, BKC Ground, The BCCI, Jay Shah, Ajit Agarkar, Akash Deep, Umran Malik, Vijaykumar", "tag": "", "tagging": "New Delhi, Former India, Ravi Shastri, Shreyas Iyer, Ishan Kishan, On Wednesday, BCCI Central Contracts, South Africa, Ranji Trophy, DY Patil T20, Navi Mumbai, Tamil Nadu, BKC Ground, The BCCI, Jay Shah, Ajit Agarkar, Akash Deep, Umran Malik", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "shastri-urges-shreyas-ishan-to-come-back-stronger-after-bcci-central-contracts-omission", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "1000", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "1", "created": "2024-02-29 12:10:03", "updated": "2024-02-29 12:10:03", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "New Delhi, Former India, Ravi Shastri, Shreyas Iyer, Ishan Kishan, On Wednesday, BCCI Central Contracts, South Africa, Ranji Trophy, DY Patil T20, Navi Mumbai, Tamil Nadu, BKC Ground, The BCCI, Jay Shah, Ajit Agarkar, Akash Deep, Umran Malik, Vijaykumar", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2024-02-29 12:10:03", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "1", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": null, "article_content_type": null, "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/shastri-urges-shreyas-ishan-to-come-back-stronger-after-bcci-central-contracts-omission-139326" }
