Jharkhand keeper-batter Ishan Kishan’s reluctance to play first-class cricket and focus only on the IPL could prompt the BCCI to make a minimum number of Ranji Trophy games mandatory for players in order to be eligible for the cash-rich league’s lucrative auction pool.
It has been learnt that BCCI brass has already instructed Kishan to play Jharkhand’s last group league game against Rajasthan in Jamshedpur, starting February 16.
