According to a Sports Tech report, the trio of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah, BCCIs are fully prepared to maintain their A+ grade in the Central Contract List. The BCCI is allegedly expected to announce the final list for central contracts at the end of this week. However, there may be some additions in the list after a five-trial series against England. The report further claimed that Shreyas Iyer will return to the Central Contract List after a brilliant show in the Champions Trophy 2025. However, despite some good performance in domestic cricket, Ishan Kishan cannot get a central contract.
“We have almost finalized the new contract for players in all categories, and it will be released in a public domain soon in a one or two days” A top source of BCCI told Sports Tech on the condition of anonymity.
“After the tour of England, a new contract will be formally given, taking into account the recent performance of the player’s source.
“This is likely to be the same, and some new arrival can be added to the later date. The source said that the coaches and the selectors have given their opinion, and we will shut down it soon” the source also said.
Indian captain Rohit Sharma expressed optimism about being a fully fit team before the five -match Test series against England.
Speaking on the Beyond 23 Cricket Podcast, Rohit highlighted the importance of the management of player fitness during the Indian Premier League (IPL).
“We need to be 100 percent fit for some of these people. We just have to ensure that they really come out of the IPL. It’s most challenging – I know it’s only four overs, but you play today, you travel tomorrow, and then you play again. It’s a difficult part, because you are traveling all over the country and you are playing so many games,” Rohit said.
Referring to the importance of Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Shami, he said that a completely fit team would give India a big chance of success in the series.
“I hope these two people, with others, end the IPL without any concern. If we have a fully fit team, we will have a great series,” Rohit said.
