His relation with the BCCI deteriorated after the World Cup in 2023. The left-handed batter, last played for India during the T20I series against Australia after the World Cup, and was also a part of the tour of South Africa.

However, he left mid-way, citing personal reasons. The then head coach, Rahul Dravid suggested him to play domestic cricket to gain match fitness, but Kishan didn't obliged and as a result, was removed from his BCCI central contract.

Since then, he has played in the IPL for Mumbai Indians, but the selectors have not considered him for any white-ball series. The Buchi Babu Tournament provides a great opportunity for Kishan to stake his claim in the white-ball team. 

The wicket-keepers, have all struggled for runs, and the Jharkhand batter could make a comeback as a keeper, if he performs well in the upcoming event.
