BCCI to Abolish A+ Contracts: Kohli, Rohit May Face Salary Cut

• BCCI plans to remove the 'A+' central contract category, impacting top players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.
• The proposal, led by Ajit Agarkar's Selection Committee, suggests retaining only A, B, and C grades.
• If approved, Kohli and Rohit, who have reduced their multi-format play, risk falling to 'B' grade for the first time in a decade.
• Currently, A+ players (Kohli, Rohit, Bumrah, Jadeja) receive Rs. 7 crore annually; 'A' grade gets Rs. 5 crore, 'B' Rs. 3 crore, and 'C' Rs. 1 crore.
• The change could lead to increased salaries for the remaining three categories, with clarity expected after the Apex Council meeting.
