BCCI Central Contracts 2025: Between IPL 2025, fans are waiting for the Central Contract of the Board of Control for Cricket in India, under which the salary of the players of Team India will be fixed. According to media reports, on March 29, BCCI Secretary Devjit Saikia can meet with Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar and Head Coach Gautam Gambhir. Indian fans will also be eyeing two star players Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, who decided to retire from T20 International last year.
The question in the mind of the fans is that after retirement from T20I, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will be removed from the A+ grade and included in the A grade, or both will retain their positions. At the same time, the most discussed is about Shreyas Iyer, who was in great form, which was last showed by the BCCI out of the Central Contract.
Shreyas Iyer’s return to BCCI’s Central Contract
The bat of Team India’s batsman Shreyas Iyer is creating panic these days. In the first match of IPL 2025, the Punjab Kings captain played a brilliant innings of 97 runs. Earlier, Shreyas Iyer proved to be the hero of Team India in the Champions Trophy. After winning the tournament, captain Rohit Sharma also praised him.

What will happen to Ishaan Kishan?

In such a situation, it will be interesting to see whether the player of Jharkhand gets a central contract.
