Sourav Ganguly, the former India captain and ex-BCCI President, has voiced his support for the board’s decision not to include Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan in the list of centrally contracted players. This decision comes as a consequence of their choice to forgo participation in the esteemed Ranji Trophy tournament. Ganguly’s backing underscores the importance of prioritizing domestic cricket and commitment to representing one’s state team, sentiments that align with the board’s stance on player participation in key domestic competitions.
