Like the two ‘recalcitrant’ cricketers Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan of the Indian Cricket Board. (BCCI) Hardik Pandya could have been left out of the central contract. He was saved on this journey for a reason. In fact, he had to give a ‘guarantee’.
The BCCI bosses are also angry about the role of the Baroda all-rounder. Hardik has not played in the Ranji Trophy due to his off-field fitness since injuring his right ankle in the last one-day World Cup match against Bangladesh. However, experts at the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore have said that Hardik has no problem returning to the field. However, Hardik did not play the Ranji Trophy as per the instructions of the board. However, his name is in the Central Contract ‘A’ category.
Most former cricketers have welcomed the decision to drop Shreyas and Ishaan from central contracts. Then, like them, how did Hardik get an exemption without playing the Ranji Trophy? Corresponding questions have been raised in cricket circles. According to BCCI sources, Hardik got this journey concession with ‘guarantee’. Hardik has promised to play Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 and Vijay Hazare Trophy after getting angered by the board.
