Ishan Kishan to play DY Patil T20 tournament Ahead of IPL 2024: Reports
Team India wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan is expected to attend the DY Patil Tournament in Mumbai before the 2024 Indian Premeire League (IPL). He hasn’t played cricket since leaving the South Africa tour in the middle of it for a mental vacation. Kishan was not selected to play in the current Test series against England, as Dhruv Jurel was called up for the first time. Surprisingly, the keeper-batter has opted to train with the Pandya brothers in Baroda rather than participate in the Ranji Trophy like his colleagues.
Recent sources claim that the BCCI is unhappy with the players’ transition into “IPL mode” and has ordered all centrally contracted players to participate in the Ranji Trophy, with the exception of those who are injured or playing for the national side.Kishan appears to have decided to make his comeback through the DY Patil Tournament, since it looks unlikely that he will be involved in Jharkhand’s next Ranji Trophy league-stage match, which starts on Friday, February 16.
