No contracts for Zaheer, Sehwag and Harbhajan
Zaheer Khan, Virender Sehwag and Harbhajan Singh's return the Indian team appears bleak as the trio was excluded from the list of contracted players, announced by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), for the 2013-14 season.
In the list pruned down to 25 players from last year's 37, only five players made it to Grade A while Gautam Gambhir and Yuvraj Singh's contracts were downgraded to Grade B. The five players named in the Grade A list are MS Dhoni, Suresh Raina, Virat Kohli, R Ashwin and Sachin Tendulkar. Shikhar Dhawan, Murali Vijay, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Ravindra Jadeja were rewarded for their efforts as they earned a promotion to the Grade B list. Surprisingly, Ishant Sharma, who has been struggling for form, has been retained in the Grade B list. The notable exclusions are in the Grade C list, which now features only nine players as against the 20 named last year. Apart from Zaheer, Sehwag and Harbhajan, Irfan Pathan, Yusuf Pathan and Piyush Chawla were the prominent ones to miss out on a contract. The ones named in Grade A will earn Rs 1 crore per annum while the Grade B players will receive a salary of Rs 50 lakhs, and the Grade C group will earn Rs 25 lakhs per year. "The players who do not figure in these lists will be placed in Grade C if they represent India in Tests/ODIs/T20 Internationals during the season," BCCI Secretary Sanjay Patel said in a statement. List of BCCI's contracted players for 2013-14 Grade A - Rs 1 crore (5 players): Sachin Tendulkar, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Virat Kohli, R. Ashwin, Suresh Raina. Grade B - Rs 50 lakhs (11 players): Gautam Gambhir, Yuvraj Singh, Pragyan Ojha, Ishant Sharma, Murali Vijay, Shikhar Dhawan, Umesh Yadav, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ravindra Jadeja, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Rohit Sharma. Grade C - Rs 25 lakhs (9 players): Dinesh Karthik, Amit Mishra, Wriddhiman Saha, Ajinkya Rahane, Ambati Rayudu, Vinay Kumar, Mohammed Shami, Jaydev Unadkat, Mohit Sharma. |
