With assembly elections scheduled in Bihar next year, it is speculated that Chief Minister Nitish Kumar may consider fielding Pandey for the Nawada or Obra Assembly seat.

Currently, Ishan Kishan is not included in the Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) central contract list but is part of the 15-member India A squad touring Australia.
