Overview

  • The 31st Apex Council/AGM will be held online on December 22 from 7:00 PM IST, with central contracts on the formal agenda.
  • Reports say Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma could be regraded from A+ to A, which would reduce their annual retainers from INR 7 crore to INR 5 crore.
  • Test and ODI captain Shubman Gill is widely tipped for promotion to the A+ bracket, with Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja expected to remain in the top tier.
  • A revision of women’s domestic match fees is listed for action, with current senior one-day payments reported at about INR 20,000 per match and the top women’s central contract at INR 50 lakh.
  • The meeting will also consider higher payments for umpires and match referees and take updates on BCCI digital properties, marking the first AGM under new president Mithun Manhas and the revamped leadership.
