Ishan Kishan’s international career is not over, but he must focus on domestic cricket to make a comeback.
While Ishan Kishan has lately been dropped from India’s T20I and ODI squads, his international career is far from done. To reclaim his spot in the Indian team across all three forms, he must first focus on playing domestic cricket on a consistent basis.
Kishan has not played competitive cricket since the 2023 ODI World Cup and has only participated in domestic cricket throughout two IPL seasons. The BCCI selection committee and national team management prioritize domestic cricket performance while making selections. Players such as Shreyas Iyer and Riyan Parag have reclaimed or won their positions in the Indian team through consistent achievements in domestic cricket.

Kishan ignored the BCCI’s advice to play domestic cricket and is now suffering the consequences. * Kishan’s return to the white-ball format is unlikely due to the rotation of keeper-batters Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul, and Sanju Samson. Kishan hopes to return to the Indian team in all three formats. He intends to stay fit, concentrate on novel shots and wicket-keeping techniques, and play domestic cricket for Jharkhand in order to make a solid case for selection.
While Ishan Kishan’s international career has not ended, he must emphasize playing domestic cricket on a consistent basis to demonstrate his form and fitness. The selectors and team management underscore the importance of domestic results, which Kishan must take seriously in order to restore his spot in the Indian team across all forms.
