Rohit Sharma, who helped the Indian team win the T20 World Cup and the Champions Trophy, will be in A+ grade in the BCCI’s 2024-25 contract list. In media reports, BCCI sources are being quoted as saying that Virat Kohli’s contract will also remain and that too will remain in A+ grade. While Shreyas Iyer will return to the list.
Rohit Sharma retired from this format after winning the T20 World Cup 2024. After this final match, Virat Kohli also retired from T20. According to BCCI sources, even after retiring from T20, both are being considered in A+ grade. The board believes that both experienced cricketers have played an important role in the success of the team and they should get the honor they deserve.
A total of 6 players qualified in A category.
Let us tell you that in February 2024, BCCI included Virat, Rohit, Jaspreet Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja in Grade A+. Grade A included a total of 6 players, but Shreyas Iyer’s name was not in it.
Shreyas Iyer will return to contract
Shreyas Iyer was removed from the central contract list by the BCCI last year as he did not play some domestic matches. Iyer scored a significant contribution to the Champions Trophy 2025 win, scoring 243 runs in 5 innings. He is ready to return to the central contract.
It is being said in the report that this time also Ishaan Kishan can be kept out of the list. He was also dropped from the team along with Iyer last year. Ishaan has not played any international matches since 2023.
