Ex-New Zealand cricketer on Ishan Kishan’s absence from the Asia Cup. Former New Zealand all-rounder Scott Styris believes Ishan Kishan will be disappointed if he does not play in the Asia Cup.
Ishan Kishan, a left-handed batter, is one of the most dynamic batters in world cricket. On his day, he can rip through the opposition’s bowling lineup. However, the batter has been in and out of the lineup, and he did not make the Asia Cup squad. Team India has named a full-strength squad, with KL Rahul returning as vice-captain after being sidelined by injury. Former New Zealand all-rounder Scott Styris believes Kishan will be disappointed if he does not play in the Asia Cup.
“KL Rahul a simple decision, and I believe it the easiest of all the possible match-ups that we discussed. You can see how important he is to the Indian team. To the management, and to the selectors because he has also been named vice-captain. ” Styris stated this during the daily sports news show ‘SPORTS OVER THE TOP’ on SPORTS18.

Scott Styris on Ishan Kishan’s absence from Asia Cup Squad
“So that means he was always a frontline player in this Indian side, and I guess it’s unfortunate for Ishan Kishan because he’s got that left-handed ability that I’m sure they’d have loved to have gotten into the squad if they could have because it’s a very right-handed dominant side until you get to someone like Rishabh Pant. As a result, I believe he will be disappointed, despite the fact that he is a fantastic player. But KL Rahul’s return is great news for India because, as you know, he’s a genuine match winner on the biggest stage as well “He continued.
After sitting out the first four games, Ishan Kishan had just played the fifth and final T20I against the West Indies.
Kishan scored 11 runs in the fifth and final T20I.
So far, the left-handed batter has appeared in 19 Twenty20 Internationals, scoring 543 runs at an average of 30.16 with a highest score of 89.
