Ishan Kishan has not been named in the SMAT 2026- 27 squad. In place of Ishan, Jharkhand has named their star all-rounder Anukul Roy as the skipper and Shikhar Mohan as his deputy. Batter Kumar Kushagra also misses the squad.
This season's SMAT tournament starts on November 14, and the final will be on December 6, 2026. On the other side, the Indian cricket team will have to play two more ODIs against the New Zealand Cricket Team, followed by a 2-match Test series.
Why is Ishan Kishan not in the squad?
There will be a twelve-day gap between the first match against Sri Lanka and the last match of the series in New Zealand, and the 2026-27 SMAT will run till December 6. Will Jharkhand be able to add Ishan Kishan to their team for the tournament? It will be interesting to see if they can progress in the higher stage of the competition.
Eyes will be on Anukul Roy, the newly appointed captain
In the absence of Ishan, eyes will be on the newly appointed skipper Anukul Roy as he pursued a stellar performance in the previous season as an all-rounder. Experienced candidates like Virat Singh and Shikhar Mohan, and the other batters, will have to take extra responsibility as they are set to miss both Ishan and Kumar Kushagra.
