The exclusion of Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer from the list of centrally-contracted players was a decision that was solely taken by the chairman of selectors Ajit Agarkar, BCCI secretary Jay Shah has revealed, asserting that “nobody is indispensable”.

Kishan and Iyer were left out after failing to show up for domestic engagements despite a directive from the BCCI. Iyer found himself at the receiving end after it emerged that he had attended a Kolkata Knight Riders’ camp in Mumbai. “You can check the constitution. I am just a convener [of the selection meeting],” he said during a media interaction at the BCCI head office in Mumbai on Thursday. 


“That decision lies with Agarkar, even when these two players [Kishan and Iyer] who did not play domestic [cricket], the decision to drop them [from the central contracts list] was only his. My role is just to implement,” he added.
