BCCI to Scrap A-Plus Contracts After Kohli, Rohit's Multi-Format Retirements

• BCCI plans to suspend the A-plus category in its Annual Central Contracts.
• The decision follows Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma's retirements from T20Is and Tests, now playing only ODIs.
• BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia stated that A-plus criteria are not met by players focusing on fewer formats.
• Previously, A-plus players received Rs 7 crore annually; this category included Kohli, Sharma, Bumrah, and Jadeja.
• Jasprit Bumrah remains the only all-format player among the previous A-plus group, with no pay cut expected for him.

Why It Matters: BCCI is removing the A-plus contract category due to top players focusing on fewer formats.
