Top Players Placed in New Grades After A+ Category
One of the most surprising things is that Ishan Kishan is not included in the BCCI Central Contract 2025–26 list at all. Mohammed Shami is also missing from the list despite being described as a champion pacer. Other players like Sarfaraz Khan and Rajat Patidar are also not part of the 2025–26 retainership list. In 2024–25, Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer were included in the contract list again and were placed in Grade C.
