Ishan Kishan Snubbed Again, Report Reveals Only Way India Star Can Return

Shreyas Iyer, the IPL-winning skipper of the KKR team of which Gambhir was the mentor, made a deserving national comeback after a rap on the knuckles from the selection committee for repeatedly avoiding domestic cricket last season. The batter had attributed it to his dodgy lower back. Iyer wasn't technically dropped from ODIs as he had scored a fifty in the last ODI that India played but now that he is back in the mix, he will get his central contract back automatically. But the same can't be said about Ishan Kishan, who is believed to be nowhere on the selection radar.

Shashi Tharoor's Harsh Dig At Selectors Over India Squad For Sri Lanka Tour

Lok Sabha MP and cricket's avid fan, Shashi Tharoor has lashed out at the BCCI's selection committee for the squads picked for the upcoming Sri Lanka tour. The team selected by the board had some surprise exclusions that dragged the attention of Tharoor. He raised his voice against the omission of Sanju Samson from ODIs and Abhishek Sharma from T20Is. While Samson made it to the squad for the shortest format series against Sri Lanka, Abhishek -- who scored a sensational century in the recently concluded five-match T20I series against Zimbabwe -- was overlooked for the tour.

Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal have been impressive for the Indian cricket team as they comprehensively defeated Zimbabwe in the recently concluded T20I series. Both batters looked in tremendous form and with India facing Sri Lanka next in 3 T20Is and 3 ODIs, former chief selector Saba Karim urged the team management to pick both of them as opening options. Karim also asked team management led by new head coach Gautam Gambhir to also give a chance to Abhishek Sharma considering the fact that Rishabh Pant and Suryakumar Yadav are expected to bat No. 3 and No. 4.

Following his side's series win against Zimbabwe, Indian all-rounder Riyan Parag, who made his international debut in this series, said that it was special making his first appearance in Indian colours along with under-19 teammate Abhishek Sharma and lauded skipper Shubman Gill for his leadership skills throughout the five-match affair.

Never Thought We Will Debut Together, Says Abhishek Sharma On Playing Maiden India Game Alongside Riyan Parag

Abhishek Sharma and Riyan Parag have been together since U19 days and even went on to win the 2018 U19 World Cup trophy as members of the Indian team. Six years later, paths of Abhishek and Riyan crossed again in Indian colours when the duo got to make their senior India men's T20I debuts on tour of Zimbabwe. After India won fifth and final T20I by 42 runs to win series 4-1, Abhishek told broadcasters how he never imagined he would make his international debut alongside Riyan. "Last few games it was pretty good for bowling and as Riyan said after the 1st game we all woke up."
