The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced central contracts for the 2024 season, a significant move for the nation's cricketers. Importantly, players Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan, who were excluded last year, are back on the list. This return signals a potential shift in the selection criteria for the upcoming season. Their inclusion is a major development.
