Ishan Kishan, who bats as a wicketkeeper, is not included in the Indian squad for the first two Test matches against England. Instead, players like Dhruv Jurel and KS Bharat will compete for the position behind the stumps. During the South Africa tour, Kishan requested a break from the team management and hasn't done so since. Regarding Kishan's comeback, India head coach Rahul Dravid clarified that the wicket-keeper batter must participate in some form of cricket in order to be considered for selection.

Despite Dravi and the team's unambiguous message, Kishan has chosen to skip the Ranji Trophy. However, according to a report, he has been training at Reliance Stadium for the past few weeks with Hardik and Krunal Pandya.

I stated that he needs to play some cricket and return whenever he is ready, not that he must play domestic cricket. He gets to make the decision. He is not under any duress from us. Following the end of the second Test in Vizag, Dravid stated in the post-match press conference, "We are in contact with him."Ishan has reportedly been training with the Pandya brothers at the Reliance Stadium in Baroda for the past few weeks, according to a report in Cricbuzz.

Given that Kishan plays for the Mumbai Indians, whose captain is Hardik Pandya, there is reason for concern regarding Kishan's actions.

Former Indian cricketer Kiran More claims that Kishan is receiving instruction at his academy.

Since November of last year, Kishan has not participated in any of the three formats for the Indian team; however, he has been on the bench for a few other games

Dravid has stated that he needs the talented wicket-keeper batter to play, but the player has shown no interest in participating in competitive cricket such as the Ranji Trophy.
