New Guard, New Grades: BCCI Contracts Signal Indian Cricket’s Big Shift

By IANS News February 09, 2026 • 21:54 PM View: 210

New Delhi: Indian cricket just got a glimpse of its future — and it’s wearing fresh names at the top.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India’s 2025–26 annual player contracts aren’t just about retainers and grades. They tell a bigger story: a generational handover is well and truly underway.

For years, Indian cricket revolved around the twin pillars of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Now, while both remain centrally contracted, their move to Grade B underlines a shift from automatic leadership status to experienced support roles.
