The Board of Control for cricket in india (BCCI) has revealed the list of central contracts, recognizing the telugu boys who have been performing well in recent times. While the details of these contracts have been awaited for some time, they have recently been revealed. A total of 34 cricketers have been selected.

There are also newcomers in the central contracts announced for the year 2024-25. Wicketkeeper-batsman ishan kishan and middle-order batter shreyas iyer, who lost their contracts last year, have been spared this time.

Except for Bumrah, the other three have said goodbye to international T20s. However, they have kept them in the A+ category.
Six more have been announced in the A grade. This includes hyderabad pacer Mohammed Siraj. In fact, Siraj was not selected for the recent Champions Trophy.
