BCCI Sets Dec. 22 Online AGM to Review Central Contracts for Kohli, Rohit; Gill Touted for A+ Upgrade

Format specialization now drives eligibility for the top contract tier.

Overview

  • The 31st AGM will be held virtually on December 22 with central contracts listed for decision.
  • Contracts of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will be taken up for review as both now feature only in ODIs after retiring from Tests and T20Is.
  • Shubman Gill is widely reported to be in contention for promotion to the A+ bracket alongside Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja.
  • A move from A+ to Grade A would reduce a player’s annual retainer from Rs 7 crore to Rs 5 crore, implying a potential Rs 2 crore cut for demoted seniors.
  • The agenda also includes proposed changes to payments for women in domestic cricket, remuneration for umpires and match referees, and updates on the board’s digital platforms, in the first AGM since BCCI’s leadership reshuffle.
