Kishan and Iyer were left out after failing to show up for domestic engagements despite a directive from the BCCI. Iyer found himself at the receiving end after it emerged that he had attended a Kolkata Knight Riders’ camp in Mumbai. “You can check the constitution. I am just a convener [of the selection meeting],” he said during a media interaction at the BCCI head office in Mumbai on Thursday.
“That decision lies with Agarkar, even when these two players [Kishan and Iyer] who did not play domestic [cricket], the decision to drop them [from the central contracts list] was only his. My role is just to implement,” he added.
