Rohit Sharma Virat Kohli central contract get dropped from A plus: A big change is taking place regarding the central contract of BCCI. In such a situation, let us know how much loss this will cause to Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.

New Delhi: BCCI may soon announce a new central contract for the players of Team India. In the current central contract of BCCI, there are a total of four categories A+, A, B and C. Different salaries are fixed for all categories. In this, the players included in A+ get the maximum of Rs 7 crore annually. Currently, this category includes Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja and Jasprit Bumrah, but now BCCI is planning to abolish the A+ category.

In such a situation, it is clear that if BCCI abolishes this category then players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will be put in another category. Not only will the category of these two stalwarts change, there will also be a huge loss in salary. In such a situation, let us know how much loss Virat and Rohit will suffer in the salary they receive from BCCI after being removed from the A+ Central contract.

Why will the central contract of Rohit-Virat change?

Regarding the abolition of A+ category by BCCI, the question is being raised that what is the ultimate need for it? Actually, the reason behind abolishing the category is that Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma play only in one format. Generally, those players who are senior and are playing in all three formats are kept in this category. Whereas Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma now play only in ODI format. Ravindra Jadeja has also retired from T20 and his future in the ODI format is in limbo. In such a situation, only Jasprit Bumrah is saved. This is the reason why BCCI is considering abolishing the A+ category.

In which category can Virat be included?

After being removed from A+ category, players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are most likely to be included in B category. The reason behind this is that both of them play only in one format. Because BCCI would like to keep those players in A category who will play continuously in all three formats for Team India. In such a situation, there will be a change in the salary of Virat and Rohit. If Virat-Rohit are included in B category, then according to the current slab, they will get only Rs 3 crore annually.

In such a situation, both will have to suffer a direct loss of Rs 4 crore each. Let us tell you that currently a player included in A+ gets a salary of Rs 7 crore annually. Only the player included in A gets Rs 5 crore. Players included in B category are paid Rs 3 crore, while players included in C category get Rs 1 crore annually.
