Rahul Dravid during a press conference denied disciplinary issues as the reason for Ishan Kishan's non-selection in India's T20 squad against Afghanistan. Kishan requested a break in South Africa and will be back in the national fold once available for selection. Kishan last played for India in November 2023. Dravid states that Kishan made himself unavailable for selection and will have to play well in the IPL to impress. Shreyas Iyer's non-selection is unrelated to disciplinary issues and he will play for Mumbai in a Ranji Trophy match before joining the India squad for the Test series against England.
