Ex-Spinner of India Harbhajan questions Iyer and Ishan over the BCCI contract snub
Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh hits out at stars Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan over the BCCI contract snub. Both players were left out of the central contracts announced by the BCCI for 2024–25. Bhajji backs Ishan and Iyer to emerge as match-winners for India. He advises them to take this snubbing as a stepping stone to succeed further.
Harbhajan said, “Every player is available for the selection process. Now, whether they will be selected is a different aspect because it depends on their form and whether the team requires their services. Just because they didn’t get a contract doesn’t mean it’s the end of the road for them.”
“It’s a learning step for them. Whatever step was taken was for their betterment; that is how they should take it. I look at this in a rather constructive way because, from hereon, I feel they could emerge as better players. But we still do not know what was going on in their heads. They are both brilliant cricketers, and I feel they will win a lot of matches for India in the future,” said Harbhajan.
