Sports News: In the ongoing Test series between India and England, the Indian cricket team suffered a major setback when star wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant was ruled out of the remaining matches. In this situation, the selection committee had to look for his replacement. The selection committee headed by Ajit Agarkar contacted Ishan Kishan so that he could be included in the team in place of Pant.
However, Ishan Kishan declared himself unavailable for the series. The reason behind this decision was his ankle injury. According to reports, Ishan fell from the scooter, which caused a serious injury to his left ankle and required stitches. Because of this, even though he wanted to go to England, he was not medically fit. This was the reason why he refused to join Team India.
Earlier, Ishan Kishan had performed brilliantly while playing for Nottinghamshire in the County Championship. He showed his batting ability by playing two brilliant innings of 87 and 77 runs there. After this performance, it was believed that he could become a strong contender in India's Test team.
After Ishan Kishan's refusal, Tamil Nadu wicketkeeper batsman N Jagadeesan's chances of getting a chance have increased. According to reports, he can be included in the team before the fifth and final Test match under the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy.
N Jagadeeshan has a lot of experience in first class cricket. He has played 52 first class matches so far, in which 3373 runs, 133 catches and 14 stumpings are registered in his name. His reliability in both wicketkeeping and batting departments has attracted the attention of the selectors.
The withdrawal of a young player like Ishan Kishan from selection due to fitness issues, that too due to a reason like a scooter accident, has become a topic of discussion in the cricket world. His injury not only took away a big opportunity from him, but also affected the plans of the selectors.
