"Players Prioritising IPL ": Jay Shah Warns Stars Of "Severe Implications" For Skipping Domestic Cricket
BCCI secretary Jay Shah has opined that centrally-contracted India players should play domestic cricket to make themselves available for the selection for the national team. Mr Shah asserted that the board is really happy with the Indian Premier League's success over the years. However, he said that players prioritising domestic cricket over IPL was not anticipated. "However, there is a trend that has started to emerge and is a cause for concern. Some players have begun prioritising the IPL over domestic cricket, a shift that was not anticipated. Domestic cricket has always been the foundation upon which Indian cricket stands, and it has never been undervalued in our vision for the sport," Jay Shah wrote in the letter addressed to players as quoted by ESPNcricinfo.
