Amid Ishan Kishan, Shreyas Iyer contract snubs, Sachin Tendulkar serves timely Ranji Trophy reminder with a long post

 Sachin Tendulkar served a timely Ranji Trophy reminder with his appreciation post. Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer were dropped from the BCCI contracts.

Days after the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCC) opted to snub Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer for ignoring the directive to feature in the Ranji Trophy, Sachin Tendulkar highlighted the importance of playing the celebrated tournament. Serving a timely reminder for Indian Premier League-bound (IPL) youngers before the Ranji Trophy final, the former India skipper and batting legend credited the cricket board of India for prioritising domestic cricket.

Taking to X (formerly known as Twitter), the Little Master shared his views about the upcoming summit clash of the Ranji Trophy. Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium will host the final of the Ranji Trophy this season, the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) confirmed on Monday. A day after the announcement, Tendulkar penned a lengthy note to congratulate Mumbai on entering the final. Tendulkar also recalled his playing days in the Ranji Trophy.
