For the first match of Duleep Trophy, Ishan Kishan is doubtful
The youngster of team India, Ishan Kishan, is doubtful for the first match of Duleep Trophy season 2024, beginning in Anantapur on Thursday, September 5. He is part of the ShreyasIyer-led Team D. The reason for the likely withdrawal of Ishan is still unclear, but as per the report, the left-hander may be carrying an injury.
In replacement of Ishan Sanju Samson, who was not named in any of the four teams announced by the selectors earlier, is likely to be named replacement.
The participation of Ishan in the later stages of the four-day first-class tournament remains unclear at the moment and will also be subject to the Indian team selection for the two-test series against Bangladesh. Although there is a possibility he could feature in the later stages of the six-match competition. Each of the four teams will play three matches, and Team D’s second game is against Team A on September 12 in Anantapur.
In the ongoing BuchiBabu tournament in Chennai, Kishan represented his state team, Jharkhand, but his participation was limited to two games as his side could not proceed beyond the league stage. He played two matches in the TNCA-organized tournament—versus Madhya Pradesh and Hyderabad. Before being knocked out, Jharkhand won the first and lost the second game.
