Jharkhand's Ishan Kishan's reluctance to play first-class cricket prompts BCCI to consider enforcing a minimum Ranji Trophy game requirement for IPL eligibility. Kishan's absence from Jharkhand's matches, citing "travel fatigue," drew criticism. BCCI may mandate 3-4 Ranji games for IPL participation, aiming to deter players from prioritizing T20 leagues. Concerns arise over players' commitment to domestic cricket. Indian team management also frustrated with reluctance to play Ranji Trophy. While Kishan's future in BCCI retainership remains uncertain, his adherence to the new policy may decide his IPL fate. Discussions ongoing, but no decisions made yet regarding central contracts.
