Hardik's commitment to white-ball cricket earns him contract

The BCCI has announced its 2023-2024 central contracts, with Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer excluded due to non-compliance. But Hardik Pandya, a white-ball cricketer, secured a Grade A contract. Pandya has committed to play for Baroda in domestic white-ball tournaments and is unable to participate in red-ball due to a medical assessment.
