The former India allrounder spoke about the duo while announcing India's squad for the upcoming two-match Test series against West Indies. Neither Ishan Kishan nor Shreyas Iyer has been named in the squad for the series that will be played next month.
Kishan was picked in the Test squad for the 2023-24 South Africa tour but asked to be released, citing mental fatigue. Later, he decided against playing in the Ranji Trophy even though the BCCI issued a directive to do so.
On the other hand, Iyer last played a Test during the home series against England last year. He was dropped from the Test team midway through the series and he too decided against playing in domestic cricket.
Ajit Agarkar's warning for Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer
Things have improved in recent times as both of them received their central contracts earlier this year. However, Ajit Agarkar has sent a timely reminder to both the batsmen that they need to prove themselves before getting their spots back in the Test team.
With Rishabh Pant still not fully fit, Kishan was expected to be named in the India squad. However, the selectors have decided to pick N. Jagadeesan ahead of Kishan.
India is looking for a leader in Shreyas Iyer
He also spoke about Iyer, saying: "Shreyas is a senior player, he was captain for India A as well. We're trying to find qualities of a leader in multiple players. Unfortunately, he wouldn't be available because of his fitness. More than anything we want him playing and playing well."
Iyer was recently named as the India A captain for the two four-day matches against Australia A. However, the right-handed batsman requested BCCI for a break from red-ball cricket in order to work on his fitness. Iyer had to undergo surgery on his back last year and he recently felt discomfort in his back.
