Yes, should've been C grade. Crowzilla 

[rahulrulezz]

Raina definitely deserved a contract. 

[Sidhoni]

So first contract for Pant?

Jadeja moves straight from C to A!

 

Would've liked Shami in grade A as well. Dhawan could have stayed in B. Raina should have had grade C.

[speedheat]

Mohammad shami umesh yadav and bumrah deserves grade A

[speedheat]

Baffling to see raina out [emoji35]

What the hell! murli Vijay in grade A ?? Grade A should have players who represents in all three format!!

[OpeningBatsman]

Swap Ambati rayudu for Raina. 

[speedheat]

Yes, should've been C grade. Crowzilla 

ROFL [emoji51]

[kosingh]

just feel like we need more "A" contracts. 

[youngindia]

shami shud be moved to A.

 

Rahul maybe next year.

 

nehra,shardul- cant see the point..dhawal only for backup tours like zim.

 

varun and raina shud not be out of the picture.

[maniac]

I guess I understand what happened with Rohit...usually when you are confused and have no clue human instinct tends to pick the option in the middle.....for example I gave you a multiple choice question with options A,B and C you randomly click B just for the heck of it.

 

In Rohit's case,since his value is invaluable and cannot be measured in monetary terms,he was randomly picked to be part of the B grade list......not fair and repulsive decision but knowing the IQ of BCCI babus,understandable.

The decision to revamp the central contracts and match fees was taken by the BCCI management in conjunction with the Supreme-Court appointed Committee of Administrators (CoA). Kohli had conveyed to the BCCI top brass last October that the players wanted their central contracts revised. Reportedly, Kohli met with CoA head Vinod Rai earlier this month, after the Bangalore Test against Australia, to offer his thoughts. The issue was also discussed in several meetings among the CoA, BCCI chief executive officer Rahul Johri and MV Sridhar, the board's game development manager.

 

Good to see Kohli taking real leadership on these type of issues.Mostly good contracts .

 

Only think I don't agree with h is Rayadu having a contract .Raina should have had instead of Rayadu.

[Shunya]

Seems a little unfair to Raina. Some internal politics it seems.

Yup, Nice to see Kohli working for player's rights, the contract values have doubled from 1 crore, 50 Lakhs, 25 Lakhs to 2 crore, 1 crore and 50 Lakhs. This way even the lowest C grade payment is good enough.

Binny, mohit sharma, bhajji ka bhi kissa khatam

 

Yuvraj singh in B category for what

Would have had shamin in A grade too

[BeautifulGame]

 

Binny, mohit sharma, bhajji ka bhi kissa khatam:aha:

 

Yuvraj singh in B category for what:facepalm:

Yuvi is a legend .If he is part of the plans it's better to put him in B category.Just like Dhoni deserves to be in A category despite not being captain or playing test cricket anymore.

[Sidhoni]

So Jadeja went from 25 lakhs to 2 crores. 8 times increment.
