Ishan has faced criticism for his prolonged hiatus from cricket, even though he was not injured. They persuaded him to play in the Ranji Trophy, but he refused, earning him an indirect censure from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and Indian team captain Rohit Sharma.
Indian head coach Rahul Dravid, while speaking at the press conference ahead of the T20I series against Afghanistan, stated that Ishan Kishan had asked for a break and stated that he would play when he is available for selection. Dravid had said, “Ishan requested a break, which we agreed to in South Africa. We support it. He has not yet made himself available. When he is available, he will play domestic cricket and be available for selection.”

With Kishan and Shreyas Iyer missing the Ranji Trophy matches despite being fit, BCCI secretary Jay Shah reprimanded the centrally contracted players for avoiding domestic cricket matches.
Jay Shah had said: “They (the players) have already been informed over the phone and I am also going to write letters saying that if their chairman of selectors, their coach and their captain ask for it, then they will have to play red.” cricket ball.”
