BCCI Secretary Jay Shah had recently cleared that if a player is fit, then he should be available to play domestic cricket without any reason. Ishan Kishan, Shreyas Iyer and Deepak Chahar were specifically told to play for their state teams from next round of Ranji Trophy that began on February 16.
A few Indian players are away from the team and the NCA currently but are still not playing in the Ranji Trophy tournament. The Board of Control for Cricket in India secretary Jay Shah has called this a "significant issue".

Team India have a few wicketkeeping options in the run-up to T20 World Cup to try and finalise. Two of them, Sanju Samson and Jitesh Sharma will be getting opportunities in the Afghanistan series. However, Sunil Gavaskar, let alone these two, didn't even consider Ishan Kishan as one of the options.
