Ishan Kishan was omitted from the BCCI Central Contracts list for the 2023-24 season following his failure to commit to red-ball domestic matches for Jharkhand. He had in fact flown back to India midway through the 2923-24 South Africa tour, citing mental health reasons. He only returned to action in the 2024 season of the Indian Premier League.
