Rahul Dravid said a deep thought is needed on the subject. "I saw some of the comments by Shardul. In fact, some of the boys who`ve come into the team also commented about how tough the domestic schedule is," Dravid admitted

Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan are the talk of the town after the Board of Control for Cricket in India excluded them from their central contracts for the year 2024 due to ignorance of the board`s diktat. When asked about those two, Rahul Dravid refused to close the door on them. Kishan did not play any cricket after opting out of the South Africa series and began the preparations for the IPL 2024 along with Mumbai Indians` teammate Hardik Pandya.
Shreyas Iyer who didn`t turn up for Mumbai`s Ranji Trophy quarterfinal somehow made himself available for the semifinal clash against Tamil Nadu. He is also set to feature in final against Vidarbha starting from Sunday. "They are always in the mix. Nobody is out of picture. Everyone who`s playing domestic cricket is in the mix. It`s just a question of, hopefully, them getting back and fit, playing cricket, and forcing the selectors to pick them again." However, Dravid steered cleared when the sensitive issue of the central contract cropped up.
