Dravid retains Grade A Contract

[bharat297]

On behalf of Amits ... I think Dhawan should be Grade A

[Brainfade]

So, how does this work? Are they guaranteed the contract amounts, and then get match fees on top of that for each match? What about the 12th man? Does he get match fees? That's a good deal.

Dinesh Karthik for eg, will be paid 15 lakhs, even if he doesnt even make it into the squad. Apart from that, I think there's something called the tour participation fee that is paid to every member of a squad.

And very disappointed at not seeing either Rahane or Dhawal Kulkarni in Grade D.

Yes. The highest wicket taker and run getter this season respectively, very sad to see Tyagi (who's having just an average season right now) and the likes of Karthik and Uthappa move ahead of them.
