Duleep Trophy 2024 Players Update; Ishan Kishan Sanju Samson Shreyas Iyer | It is difficult for Ishaan to play in the first match of Duleep Trophy: Claim- There is an injury in his left hand, he had lost the central contract due to not playing domestic.

Ishan Kishan did not play Ranji matches last year despite the board’s request.

It is difficult for Indian team’s wicketkeeper batsman Ishan Kishan to play in the first match of Duleep Trophy. He has been selected in Team D captained by Shreyas Iyer.

Cricket website Cricbuzz has claimed that Ishaan has an injury on his left hand. In such a situation, the selectors can choose Sanju Samson in Team D in his place. Samson was not selected in any team. Team D has to play its first match against Team C from 5th September. Let us tell you that after not playing domestic cricket last season, Ishaan was dropped from the central contract.

Last year the South Zone team had won the Duleep Trophy title. Vidvat Kavarappa took 8 wickets in the final.

Will depend on the selection of Team India
At present, there is doubt over Ishaan’s playing in the first class tournament. Whether he plays or not in the top stage match will depend on his selection by Team India. The Indian team is going to be announced for the 2-match Test series against Bangladesh in a few days.

It is possible that Ishaan may be seen playing in the later matches of the 6-match tournament. Team D’s second match will be against Team A on September 12 in Anantapur.

Ishaan could play only 2 matches in Buchi Babu
Ishan Kishan participated on behalf of Jharkhand in the Buchi Babu tournament going on in Chennai. He could play only 2 matches, because his team was eliminated from the league round itself. Jharkhand defeated Madhya Pradesh in the first match. Then lost to Hyderabad.
He could score only 161 runs in 4 innings of 2 matches of the tournament. He scored 114 and 41 runs in the first match, while he could only contribute 1 and 5 runs in the second match.

Ishan Buchi Babu played a century for Jharkhand against Madhya Pradesh in the tournament.

Did not play Ranji match even after board’s request
Last season, the national selectors ignored Ishan Kishan due to discipline. Then, despite the instructions of BCCI, the wicketkeeper had left some Ranji Trophy matches. In such a situation, he was told that he would be selected in the national team only when he would play for his state team. Later Ishaan was also dropped from the central contract.
