Ishan Kishan was recently in England to play county cricket. After being ignored once again by the national selectors, the wicketkeeper-batsman signed up a short-term deal with Nottinghamshire.

He linked with the county outfit for only two matches and replaced Kyle Verreynne, who had to link up with South Africa for the two-match Test series in Zimbabwe. Ishan Kishan impressed with the bat in both the games for Nottinghamshire.

In his debut match, the southpaw scored 87 runs off just 98 balls against Yorkshire. It was followed by a 77-run knock against Somerset. The Jharkhand star would be hoping that his fine efforts with the bat would catch the attention of the selectors and help him earn a much-awaited recall.
