Shubman Gill, Jasprit Bumrah, and Ravindra Jadeja Secure Top-Tier BCCI Central Contracts
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has implemented a major restructuring of its central contracts for the 2025–26 season, prioritizing current workload and multi-format availability. This overhaul has resulted in the elevation of three key IPL stars to the highest tier, Grade A.
Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill, Mumbai Indians pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja are the only three players to secure the top contracts. Gill's inclusion reflects his growing stature and leadership potential across formats, while Bumrah remains India’s premier fast bowler. Jadeja’s consistent all-round value and availability across Tests, ODIs, and T20Is cemented his position in the elite bracket. This move highlights the selection committee's focus on rewarding present impact and adaptability as the national team evolves.
