Ishan Kishan ruled out of Duleep Trophy, Odisha cricket announces replacement

Ishan Kishan was named the East Zone skipper for the Duleep Trophy. However, just days before the tournament's start, Kishan was ruled out, and Easwaran was named the new skipper.

Ishan Kishan still has a few stitches on his hand. He is currently at the Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru. According to news agency PTI, the injury is not that serious; however, he has been advised to rest.

The Jharkhand wicketkeeper-batter, who plays for SunRisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League (IPL), is expected to be fit in time for the series against Australia next month.
