Jay Shah's Warning Letter to National Players

BCCI secretary Jay Shah has sent a strongly worded letter to the Indian national players asking them to not prioritise the IPL over Indian Domestic cricket. This letter was sent against the backdrop of some established Indian players like Shreyas Iyer and Deepak Chahar choosing to skip rounds of the ongoing Ranji Trophy.

Jay Shah mentioned in the letter, "...there is a trend that has started to emerge and is a cause for concern. Some players have begun prioritising the IPL over domestic cricket, a shift that was not anticipated. Domestic cricket has always been the foundation upon which Indian cricket stands, and it has never been undervalued in our vision for the sport."

The Ranji Trophy has been instrumental in feeding India with great players over the years. A prosperous domestic circuit will mean good news for Indian cricket.
