BCCI Central Contract 2025: The Cricket Control Board of India is going to release the Central Contract List soon. BCCI released the Central Contract in February last year, but this time there is a delay in releasing it due to the Champions Trophy. According to sources, the BCCI will release the list after assessing the players’ performance in the Champions Trophy. This information is coming out that this time many players can be out of the list due to not participating in international matches. These players include names like Avesh Khan, KS Bharat and Silver Patidar.
Let us know that BCCI had placed Avesh Khan, KS Bharat and Rajat Patidar in the ‘C grade’ of Central Contract. After joining the Central Contract, Rajat performed brilliantly in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and was the second batsman to score the most, but did not get a place in the India vs England T20 series. In such a situation, due to non -playing international matches, silver can be out of the Central Contract List of BCCI.
Avesh Khan and KS Bharat can also be out
Bowler Avesh Khan’s performance was not as expected. You can guess this from the fact that he took just 6 wickets in the 6 T20 matches played in the year 2024. At the same time, he played his last ODI in 2023. There is a possibility that this time the charge may be out of the list. KS Bharat can also be excluded from the list, as he played his last international match in February 2024.
Ravichandran Ashwin will also be out
Significantly, Ravichandran Ashwin will also be out of BCCI’s Central Contract List, as he has announced his retirement from international cricket.
Shreyas Iyer can get space
Let me tell you that Shreyas Iyer and Ishaan Kishan were dropped from the Central Contract List last year as both the players adopted a lover of domestic cricket. However, now he can be included in the BCCI Central Contract List after Shreyas’ performance in the Champions Trophy. At the same time, Ishaan has not played international cricket since November 2023, so it is very difficult to get the central contract this time.
There are 4 categories in BCCI contract list
The Central Contract List of BCCI is divided into four categories. Based on these categories, players are given annual salary.
Grade A+ – ₹ 7 crore Grade A – ₹ 5 crore Grade B – ₹ 3 crore Grade C – How is the category of players fixed?
The A+ grade includes those players who play in all three formats (Tests, ODI, T20). Last year, 30 players got the Central Contract. Later Sarfaraz Khan and Dhruv Jurael were also added to this list. In addition, BCCI gave fast bowling contracts to fast bowlers Akash Deep, Yash Dayal, Umran Malik, Vijaykumar Vaishak and Vidwath Kareppa.
