The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) came down heavily on Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan for not giving preference to red-ball domestic cricket despite repeated warnings by the board and the board secretary Jay Shah by terminating their annual central contract for the 2023-24 season. While many have deemed the move a bit harsh including former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan, however, some have called it a reality check for players who prefer IPL over any domestic tournament in the country.
