BCCI’s mandatory requirement for non-national team players last year is unlikely to be enforced Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Shreyas Iyer was dropped midway through the home Test series in January 2023, while Ishan Kishan skipped the Ranji Trophy due to his absence due to mental health issues. Their actions angered the BCCI and their names were removed from the central contract list. This sparked a huge debate with many talking about the need for domestic cricket to be involved.

Will Kohli-Rohit have the same fat as Shreyas-Kishan?

According to reports, the situation for Kohli and Rohit will not be similar this time. Despite expert opinions from former cricketers such as Irrfan Pathan and Sunil Gavaskar As well as discussions within the BCCI on the priorities of domestic cricket, a report in the Hindustan Times suggests otherwise.

Monday’s report read, “However, there is a strong view within the board regarding Kohli that if he is keen to continue playing, he should bat in the same flamboyant manner as before, so going back to basics may be in order.” A board official insisted that the move to prioritize domestic cricket after India’s poor performance in Australia was not an “order”.

Domestic cricket no longer an ‘order’?

“If players don’t play ranji trophy “If there is no valid medical or health reason, it will affect their future options in India.” Meanwhile, a BCCI official said, “There is nothing other than spending time at the crease to regain confidence. It’s replaceable. It doesn’t make any sense for a player, no matter how experienced, to achieve that,” a BCCI official said.

However, this was not the case just a few months ago. Kohli and Rohit are rumored to be available for the Duleep Trophy in September as they have not played since winning the T20 World Cup. But they skipped the game. But Kohli struggled again and the spin continued. India’s home match against New Zealand sparked a round of controversy, which also included Gambhir’s coaching style.
