India – Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja hold on to top BCCI central contracts

Iyer was in action for India as recently as in the second Test against England in Visakhapatnam and was a big part of the Indian ODI squad at the World Cup in October. However, he and Kishan have been central figures in a shake-up where the BCCI has asked its players not to skip domestic cricket in favour of IPL prep. Iyer missed the Ranji Trophy quarter-final, citing issues with his back, but is with the Mumbai squad for again the semi-final starting on March 2. Kishan took a break from the game and missed the Ranji Trophy entirely, but returned to action at the DY Patil T20 tournament on Tuesday.
