BCCI May Scrap A+ Contracts, Demote Kohli and Rohit: Report

  • BCCI is considering removing the A+ contract category from its annual retainership system.
  • The A+ category, currently offering Rs 7 crore annually, includes Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.
  • If A+ is removed, Kohli and Rohit, who retired from T20Is and quit Tests, could be demoted to Category B.
  • Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja might move to Category A, while Shubman Gill could remain in A or be promoted to A+ if the recommendation is rejected.
  • The Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee has recommended this change, potentially impacting contracts for the 2025-26 season.

Why It Matters: BCCI may eliminate the A+ contract category, potentially demoting Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.
