This BCCI Player availability and participation is going to be monitored throughout the domestic cricket season 2024-25. In all of the matches, he was not selected for Indian team.
With a few weeks left before the Duleep Trophy starts in September, this statement is an instruction from BCCI with India new coach Gautam Gambhir who recently expressed himself about batsmen performance in the three formats to gain particular skills.
The necessity of this monitoring also stem from controversy that resulted in Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan being left out of the BCCI contracted players for failure to play for their respective state teams.
Thus, BCCI will assess not just domestic performances but also whether international players are available or unavailable during their off duty periods representing India.
According to Cricbuzz, this issue was deliberated upon at a meeting by the selection panel on Thursday.
Crickbuzz states that some members of the BCCI got in touch with Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli after hearing that they would skip a series of three ODI matches on Sri Lanka tour. As such both Rohit and Kohli took a decision to say goodbye T20Is right after last month’s World Cup while remaining as part of ODI Team for his visit. Nonetheless, Jasprit Bumrah who leads Indian bowling attack has been rested by board keeping in view work load management aspects.
