Amid uncertainty over future of youngster Ishan Kishan in International cricket, there is now a glimmer of hope for his comeback as BCCI is likely to give lefthander a chance to resume his red ball cricket career ahead of Bangladesh Test.
After being denied a central contract by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) earlier in February this year, Ishan was neither named in any of the Indian squads, including the T20 World Cup, since then, nor was his possible return addressed during Gautam Gambhir’s first press conference as the head coach of the men’s team.
Now according to a report in Cricbuzz earlier this month, Ishan, who was sidelined for opting out of the Ranji Trophy last year, made himself available for the upcoming domestic season after being counselled by national selectors, and has already been included in the list of 25 pre-season probables by the Jharkhand State Cricket Association (JSCA).
News 18 later reported that the wicketkeeper-batter will play for Jharkhand in the Buchi Babu invitational tournament, which begins on August 15 in Chennai.
However, a fresh report in the Indian Express on Monday indicated that the Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee is likely to pick Ishan for the Duleep Trophy, which will begin on September 5 and end on the 24th.
