Ishan Kishan wasn’t included in any of the four squads for the second round matches of Duleep Trophy 2024.
India wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan was a surprise inclusion in the second round of Duleep Trophy 2024 after missing the first-round fixtures due to groin injury he picked while representing Jharkhand in the Buchi Babu Tournament.
The BCCI recently announced updated squads for the second round matches which got underway from Thursday in Anantapur (Andhra Pradesh) with the players selected in India squad for the Bangladesh Test in Chennai barring Sarfaraz Khan and Yash Dayal being excluded.
Ishan’s name wasn’t in any of the four squads – India A, India B, India C and India D. However, it was revealed at the toss today that the wicketkeeper is part of India C Playing XI.
Interestingly, when the squads for the first-round fixtures were announced, Ishan was picked in India D team led by Shreyas Iyer. He was being closely monitored by the BCCI medical team and seems to have made a swift recovery to make his competitive return.
