Kumar questioned why Pandya was granted such privileges, suggesting that there should be no exceptions for him. He urged the BCCI to take a firmer stance and ensure Pandya's compliance with the regulations. Kumar's comments included pointed remarks about Pandya's absence from Test cricket, implying that he should not be allowed to pick and choose formats based on his preferences.
Furthermore, Kumar emphasised the need for clarity regarding Pandya's future in Test cricket. He called for transparent communication between Pandya and the BCCI to address any uncertainties regarding his role in the longer format of the game.
