The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is reportedly considering demoting former captains Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli from their current Grade A+ contracts to Grade A in the upcoming contract list. This potential downgrade comes as the cricket board evaluates player performance and contribution across formats. The BCCI Annual General Meeting, scheduled for 22, is expected to finalize these contract decisions. Kohli has maintained his Grade A+ status since 2018, reflecting his consistent performance and stature in international cricket. Cricket analysts suggest that this move may be part of a broader strategy to restructure player compensation based on recent performance metrics and future selection priorities. The Grade A+ category, which includes the highest-paid centrally contracted players, is reserved for those who consistently perform across all three formats of the game. Both Rohit and Kohli have experienced fluctuations in form in recent months, particularly in certain formats, which may have influenced this potential decision. The BCCI has not officially commented on these reports, but the cricket community is closely watching for the final announcement.
