Irfan Pathan Reaction on BCCI Central Contract: The Indian Cricket Board has updated its annual contract. Out of this, the biggest topic of discussion was the dismissal of Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer. Many people had different views on this. People shared many reactions on social media. Former head coach Ravi Shastri made a special post for both the players. Irfan Pathan has also expressed his anger in this episode. He raised a direct question regarding giving place to Hardik Pandya. Irfan expressed his anger by posting on his ex-handle.

What did Irfan Pathan say

First of all, on Wednesday, when BCCI announced the central contract, Irfan Pathan wrote ‘Unbelievable’ on his X profile. That means they clearly did not believe it after seeing it. After that, Irfan made another post on Thursday morning. In this post, Irfan clearly wrote that if Hardik got the place then why were Iyer and Kishan left out?

Unbelievable!

Irfan wrote in his post, ‘Shreyas and Ishaan both are talented cricketers. I hope he makes a strong comeback and comes back stronger. If players like Hardik are not playing red ball cricket, then he or other players should also play in white ball domestic tournaments. Was he on national duty at that time, no. If this rule is not applied to everyone then Indian cricket will not be able to reach its target and will not get good results.

They are talented cricketers, both Shreyas and Ishan. Hoping they bounce back and come back stronger. If players like Hardik don’t want to play red ball cricket, should he and others like him participate in white-ball domestic cricket when they aren’t on national duty? If this…

Ravi Shastri had supported

Earlier, Ravi Shastri had also supported these two players and said, ‘There are always comebacks in the game of cricket. So chin up Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan. Work hard, face the challenge and come back stronger. Your past achievements will speak for you. I have no doubt that both of you will make a tremendous comeback once again.

In the game of cricket, comebacks define the spirit. Chin-up, @ShreyasIyer15 and @ishankishan51! Dig deep, face challenges, and come back even stronger. Your past achievements speak volumes, and I have no doubt you'll conquer once again.

Why were Ishaan and Iyer out

If we talk about the main reason, it is not clearly clear, but recently such information was received that Ishaan had repeatedly refused the order to play in Ranji Trophy. On the other hand, he had already started preparing for IPL. On the other hand, Iyer also probably made an excuse regarding fitness. NCA had informed BCCI about his fitness. But he did not play the quarterfinal match of Ranji Trophy citing fitness. Perhaps this is why both of them did not get the contract.
