Kishan to move to NCA for energy and conditioning forward of WI tour

With East Zone taking over Central Zone within the first quarter-final at Alur in Bengaluru, the 24-year-old had the chance to play one recreation with the purple ball earlier than the Indian crew’s departure for the Caribbean. The one-off recreation would have given Kishan an opportunity to push his case for choice within the Test crew, particularly when the incumbent KS Bharat is struggling to make a mark with the bat. But Kishan had opted out of the Duleep Trophy a few days in the past.
