Ishant took 311 wickets from 105 Tests at an average of 32.40. He is the second-highest wicket-taker among Indian pacers in Test cricket. The pacer also featured in 80 ODIs, taking 115 wickets. He was last seen in action during IPL 2025 for the Gujarat Titans (GT), where he picked up four wickets in seven matches.
“Either you tell the ICC that we have so many players, so let us increase the squad size from 15 to 20. It’s very difficult. Yes, as an individual, you are a fan, but being a selector is the most thankless job. The player who gets picked feels good, but the one left out, like Shreyas Iyer, who should he replace? I’m not saying Shreyas isn’t a class player, no doubt about that,” Ishant told Raj Shamani.

According to a report in The Indian Express, Shreyas Iyer requested the BCCI and chief selector Ajit Agarkar for a break from red-ball cricket, including Tests and first-class matches. The 30-year-old batsman made this decision after withdrawing from the series against Australia A in Lucknow.
The Mumbai batsman recorded low scores in the Duleep Trophy and managed only 8 runs in India A’s match last week. The selectors had originally planned to use these games to prepare him for a Test comeback against the West Indies next month.
