No disciplinary issue for Ishan; competing to be the England Tests specialty keeper

For the Test series against England, the Indian squad may decide to go with a specialist wicketkeeper, and Ishan Kishan may be one option.Ishan might indicate that he is available for the next Test series after becoming entangled in a controversy regarding his exclusion from the T20I series against Afghanistan. Currently on a cricket break, the 25-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman is targeting a return for the five-Test series that kicks off in Hyderabad on January 25. Following the team management's strategy, spearheaded by Rahul Dravid, which mandates a domestic match prior to an international comeback after an extended layoff, Ishan can declare himself fit for Jharkhand's next match against Services in Delhi starting on January 19 in order to demonstrate his fitness. Nov. 28 was Ishan's last India match.Dravid denied rumors that Ishan was left out because of his lack of discipline, saying that Ishan had asked for the voluntary vacation.

The coach denied rumors of disciplinary problems, stating that Ishan has not yet made himself available for selection. Cricbuzz had previously drawn attention to the mystery surrounding Ishan's non-selection. There isn't a single disciplinary concern. There was not a choice for Ishan Kishan. We decided to take a break in South Africa after Ishan made this request. We were in favor of it. He has not yet offered himself for use. On the eve of India's maiden Twenty20 international match in Mohali, Dravid stated, "When he is available, he will play domestic cricket and make himself available for selection."To prepare him for the wicketkeeping duty, KS Bharat has been invited to participate in the A series against the England Lions in Ahmedabad, in keeping with the specialist keeper method. Ishan Kishan is still a viable contender for this particular specialized role. On January 25, the five-Test series will begin.To concentrate on batting, KL Rahul However, considering the difficulties of keeping wickets on Indian pitches that are turning, the team management wants to release KL Rahul from his dual duties of wicket-keeping and batting. With his recent back surgery, the management wants Rahul to concentrate on his batting and not put himself under unnecessary strain. In the two Test matches that India just played in South Africa, Rahul retained wickets.
