In the BCCI central contract list, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Jasprit Bumrah are all expected to maintain their A+ grade, according to a Sports Tak report. The final list for the central contracts is allegedly scheduled to be announced by the BCCI by the end of this week. Following the five-Test series against England, there might be some additions to the list, though. After his outstanding performance in the Champions Trophy 2025, Shreyas Iyer will be joining the central contract list again, according to the report. Ishan Kishan might not receive the central contract, though, despite his impressive domestic cricket performances.”We have almost finalised the new contract for players in all categories, and it will be issued in the public domain soon in a day or two” A key BCCI source told Sports Tak on the condition of anonymity.
“After the England tour, a new contract will be formalised, taking into account the player’s recent performance,” the source continued.
“It’s likely to remain the same, with a few new arrivals possibly added at a later period. The insider also stated that the coach and selectors have provided their feedback, and that we will close the matter soon.
Indian skipper Rohit Sharma expressed confidence in having a completely healthy side ahead of the five-match Test series against England.Rohit emphasized the importance of player fitness management during the Indian Premier League (IPL) in an interview with Beyond23 Cricket.
“We need some of these guys to be 100% fit. We just need to make sure they do well in the IPL. This is the most difficult one — I know it’s only four overs, but you play today, travel tomorrow, and play again. That’s the challenging thing, because you’re going all over the nation and playing so many games,” Rohit added, referring to the IPL’s grueling schedule.He notably underlined the importance of Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami remaining injury-free, stating that a fully healthy lineup will offer India a good opportunity of winning the series.
“I hope that these two men, along with the others, can finish the IPL without any problems. “If we have a fully fit team going to England, we’ll have a fantastic series,” Rohit remarked.
