Shreyas, Kishan & The Ripple Effect

For now, there are more questions than answers about Indian T201 team

WHEN Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli were named in the squad for the three T20Is against Afghanistan, among the many names that were missing, the notable ones were Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer.

The former, for starters, has not returned to cricket after taking a break from the Indian team during the South Africa tour citing personal reasons.

He was not a part of the Test squad, nor did he take part in Jharkhand's first Ranji Trophy match against Saurashtra.

In the last couple of years, Kishan had grown into one of the few all-format players for India, having made his Test debut as a wicketkeeper in West Indies. He featured in 30 games across formats last year, before the South Africa series.
