Both iyer

The ICC Review: Former India cricketer and head coach Ravi Shastri said he is pleased Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan have been reinstated in the recent men’s central contracts list. Both Iyer and Kishan were left out in the previous edition of the annual retainers due to not playing domestic games, but were recently brought back on the list for the 2024/25 season.

“I thought seeing Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan back in the mix, because what transpired there was between the team management, the BCCI and the individuals involved. I'm glad that there was communication, things have been sorted out and they get back their contracts.

“Shreyas Iyer in particular, the way he's played for India over the last 18 months and he's become like an absolute certainty in the white-ball format of the game, especially the one-day format, and the way he played in the Champions Trophy, demands recognition.
