mumbai sources stated that Board of Control for cricket in india (BCCI) on thursday announced the annual player retainership 2019-20 and the major omission was former skipper M.S. Dhoni. Reportedly india skipper virat kohli, jasprit bumrah and rohit sharma were named in the 'A+' grade, which means they will pocket Rs 7 crore each. Meanwhile the other categories are 'A', 'B' and 'C' and will see players pocket Rs 5 crore, Rs 3 crore and Rs 1 crore, respectively. According to a bcci statement, the period from october 2019 to september 2020 has kohli, rohit and Bumrah in the Grade A+ category like the last cycle.

 

Furthermore, dhoni, who was in the Rs 5 crore 'A' category bracket, is missing. Perhaps the 38 year old has been on a break from the game since India's world cup semifinal loss to new zealand last year. india head coach ravi Shastri had recently said that dhoni may soon end his ODI career but could be in contention for a spot in the t20 world cup squad provided he does well in the IPL.

 

Meanwhile, rishabh pant has kept his place in the grade 'A' bracket, despite his inconsistent performances. Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who has been injured for long spells and is currently continuing his rehabilitation at the National cricket Academy (NCA) in bengaluru after a successful sports hernia surgery, is also in the same bracket. K.L. rahul has also found place in the Rs 5 crore bracket owing to his stellar performances in white-ball cricket. Reportedly the other players in the grade 'A' bracket are Ravichandran Ashwin, ravindra jadeja, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane, shikhar dhawan, Mohammed Shami, Ishant Sharma and kuldeep Yadav. hardik pandya, who is also out injured and is on his road to recovery, kept his place in the Rs 3 crore grade 'B' category. Fast bowler umesh yadav, wicket-keeper Wriddhiman Saha and spinner yuzvendra chahal are other two in the 'B' category where Test opener Mayank Agarwal is also present. Category 'C' includes kedar jadhav, navdeep saini, shreyas iyer, washington sundar, deepak chahar, Hanuma Vihari, kedar jadhav, and Shardul Thakur.
