Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan found themselves excluded as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced its centrally-contracted players for 2023-24. The decision was taken amid the controversy surrounding both cricketers ignoring the board's directive to play Ranji Trophy. While Kishan did not play for Jharkhand despite opting out of the Test series against South Africa citing personal reasons, Iyer made himself unavailable for Mumbai due to injury - a claim that was dismissed by National Cricket Academy (NCA). The exclusion means that both cricketers will not receive the money that comes with the central contracts. While BCCI did not mention any specific figures in this year's announcement, the list for the 2022-23 year provides a sneak peek into the salary brackets.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) announced the team of the year 2023, naming India's Suryakumar Yadav as the captain. The team consisted of a total of 4 Indians while the big players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, etc. were understandably absent, having not featured in the format since the conclusion of the T20 World Cup last year. But, the apex body did find places for other Indian stars like Ravi Bishnoi, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Arshdeep Singh in the 11-member roster.
