The BCCI has recently shared its list of central contracts for the 2024-25 season, and there are some notable names on it. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli continue to occupy the top tier alongside Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja in the A+ category, showing that they’re still key players for the team.
One big change this year is the return of Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan. They were left out last year, likely because of their absence from domestic cricket, but it’s good to see them back in the fold. Rishabh Pant, who’s been making waves as a wicketkeeper-batter, has also moved up to the A category, which speaks to his growing importance on the team.
