The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is gearing up to announce its new central contracts for the upcoming season during the ongoing IPL 2025. However, this time, the process is delayed due to logistical challenges and selection committee differences.
Big Names Might Miss the Top Tier
According to reports, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Ravindra Jadeja might not be included in the Grade A+ category. This shift is reportedly due to their retirement from T20Is, as the board may prioritize players who perform in all three formats.
Support Staff Overhaul in the Works?
Reports suggest that assistant coach Abhishek Nayar and fielding coach T Dilip might be sacked before India's Test series against England. The BCCI is considering a revamp of the support staff, which could include reducing the number of personnel in the coaching team.
Upcoming Meeting to Decide Future Plans
A crucial meeting is scheduled for March 29 in Guwahati, where BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia, chief selector Ajit Agarkar, and head coach Gautam Gambhir will discuss:
✔️ Finalizing the central contracts
✔️ Potential coaching staff changes
✔️ Selection policies moving forward
With these significant changes looming, the upcoming announcement will be crucial for Indian cricket's future strategy.
