Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer have been dropped from the central contract by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). BCCI released the new central contract last Wednesday (28 February). Now this question is arising in the minds of people that after the end of the central contract, are Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer out of Team India forever? Or will he never be able to play for Team India again? Then we will give you the answer.
So see, BCCI gives a fixed salary annually to the players who join the central contract. Apart from this, they get fees according to the match. But players who are not included in the contract will get only match fees. That is, the players who are out of contract are not out of Team India. He can play for India anytime, but he will get only match fee.
Players playing without central contract
Let us tell you that there are many players who play for Team India even without a central contract. Now last year, Ajinkya Rahane was made a part of the Indian team in the final of the World Test Championship and the Test series against West Indies, although he was not a part of the central contract. In such a situation, it is clear that despite not having a central contract, players can play for India.
Ishaan and Iyer were part of World Cup 2023
Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer were part of the Indian team in the ODI World Cup played in 2023. Ishaan played the initial matches of the tournament in the absence of Shubman Gill. Whereas Shreyas Iyer was seen playing for India in the entire tournament and he scored 530 runs in 11 innings at an average of 66.25 and strike rate of 113.25. But now both the players have been dropped from the central contract. It is noteworthy that in the last contract, Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan were ‘C’ grade players.
