Ishan Kishan, Deepak Chahar, and Shreyas Iyer, all centrally contracted players, missed the final round of Ranji Trophy after the directives by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to play in their state first-class cricket matches.
Kishan, the player representing Jharkhand in domestic cricketer, skipped the last matches of the tournament, which was his consecutive game failure. As well, Chahar and Iyer had been missing too. Iyer gave lower back and groin problems as his reasons for missing the practice.
BCCI Secretary Jay Shah stressed that central contract players should be made available for domestic tournaments at all costs. Elaborating further, Shah ensured fitness not to be a reason for the players to avoid the domestic cricket and thus stressed the selectors' role for determining the players' future.

In the absence of Kishan Jharkhand promoted Kumar Kushagra who was the wicketkeeper for Jharkhand in their game against Rajasthan. Jharkhand with the one win out of the six matches played and having accumulated 10 points, took on Rajasthan at home.
Prior to India's tour of South Africa, when Kishan had asked for a break, he has been training along with his captain from Mumbai Indians, Hardik Pandya, in Baroda.
Mumbai had already made it to the quarter-finals of the Ranji trophy led by Iyer. Last day of the league they hosted Assam at the home venue without their captain Iyer.
The missing of key players raised concerns of centrally contracted players availability for domestic cricket and how state teams can have squads without the star performers.
