Ishan Kishan, the star Indian wicketkeeper-batter, is set to return to domestic cricket by captaining Jharkhand in the upcoming Buchi Babu tournament in Tamil Nadu, starting August 15. His inclusion in the squad came after he expressed his interest in participating, following his absence from the initial list.
Ishan last played international cricket in November 2023 and has since faced challenges, including not being handed a BCCI annual contract. After experiencing travel fatigue during the South Africa tour last year, Ishan took a break from cricket, which impacted his standing with national selectors.
Despite his recent struggles, Ishan is eager to make a strong comeback and reclaim his spot in the Indian team. He will lead Jharkhand with determination, aiming to impress in the Buchi Babu tournament and catch the selectors’ attention once again.
Ishan’s return to domestic cricket highlights his dedication and readiness to contribute to his state team, hoping this will be a stepping stone towards a successful return to the national side.
