NEW DEHLI – The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Monday strongly asked the cricket players to prioritize the domestic cricket over the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Jay Shah, the Secretary of the BCCI, emphasized to cricketers holding central contracts the importance of focusing on domestic cricket instead of the financially alluring IPL. He cautioned them about potential repercussions for non-participation in domestic events.
The recent absence of Test cricketers Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan during the final round of the Ranji Trophy has drawn attention to this matter.
Last week, Jay Shah communicated his concerns to the players through official channels, noting a worrying trend where players are favoring the IPL over domestic cricket commitments.
