    BCCI Central Contracts: Dhawan, Bhuvi dropped from the highest category
  • The BCCI has announced the Annual Player Contracts for the period from October 2018 to September 2019.

    In this list, there are only three players in the A+ category.

    Interestingly, veterans Shikhar Dhawan and Bhuvneshwar Kumar were dropped from the top tier.

    However, wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant and wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav have been offered lucrative contracts, as they were placed in the A category.

    Dhawan and Bhuvi demoted to A category
  • Dhawan is no more an integral part of the Test squad and his demotion to A category doesn't come as a surprise.

    Meanwhile, Bhuvneshwar continues to play all the three formats, but in recent tours, he has only been warming the bench.

    This could be the reason for his demotion. However, the two players remain key for the upcoming ICC World Cup.

  • Rishabh Pant broke into the Test scene in 2018 and since then he has cemented his place in the side.

    Pant has made the most of his chances and the BCCI sees him as one of the future prospects, across the formats.

    That's why he jumped directly into the A category.

    Meanwhile, Kuldeep has been a consistent performer and had a productive 2018 season.

  • Information

    Here are the players in the A category

  • Here is a look at the players named in the Grade A category- Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Shikhar Dhawan, Mohammed Shami, Ishant Sharma, Kuldeep Yadav and Rishabh Pant. These players will get Rs. 5 crore.

    These three players will receive a sum of Rs. 7 crore.

    Notably, these three have been India's top performers and helped the side win several tournaments.

    Bumrah's rise in Test cricket has been a positive aspect for India.
