‘What were they thinking?’ Harbhajan Singh on Ishan Kishan-Shreyas Iyer contract snub

Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh has expressed his support to the Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan pair after they were dropped from the BCCI central contract. Both the stars failed to find a place in the reserved list of players announced by the country’s cricket apex board at the end of February this year. Harbhajan said the expulsion was not the end of the road for the two players. However, he added that their selection in the upcoming series will depend on their form and the team’s requirements.

“Every player can take part in the selection process. Now whether they will be selected is a different aspect because it depends on their form and whether the team needs their services. Just because they don’t get a contract, it doesn’t mean they There’s no chance.” For them, it’s the end of the road. ” Harbhajan told Hindustan Times.

Harbhajan, like many other former cricketers and experts, supported the committee’s decision regarding the latest mandate for domestic cricket.

While announcing the central contract, the BCCI made it clear that players who are fit but not playing for the national team need to play for their respective state teams.

“It’s a learning step for them. Whatever steps are taken are for their betterment and that’s the way they should be taken. I look at it in a pretty constructive way because from now on, I feel They can be better players. But we still “I don’t know what’s going on in their heads. They are both good cricketers and I feel they will win a lot of games for India in the future. ” Harbhajan said while highlighting the situation of Iyer and Kishan.
