India’s out of favor wicket-keeper batter, Ishan Kishan is doubtful for the upcoming season of Duleep Trophy which is scheduled to begin from September 5.
Kishan represented his state team, Jharkhand, in the ongoing Buchi Babu tournament in Chennai but his participation was limited as his side could not proceed beyond the league stage.
He played a couple of matches in the TNCA-organised tournament against Madhya Pradesh and Hyderabad. Jharkhand won the first and lost the second game before being knocked out.
