Retain Fee is a guaranteed yearly retainer paid to all central contract cricketers based on their grades A+, A, B, C, and D.

Bonuses for individual performance:

Performance-related bonuses are also given, such as Rs 500,000 for scoring a hundred in a Test or ODI, and Rs 700,000 for scoring a double hundred in a test. Rs 500,000 for a 5-wicket haul in a Test, ODI, or T20 match, and Rs 700,000 for a 10-wicket haul in a Test match.

Shreyas Iyer, Axar Patel, and Mohammed Siraj have been promoted from Grade C to Grade B on the BCCI contract list 2021-22, earning a 200% increase in annual retainer amounts over the previous year.

Let’s know who got Newly Contracted.

Suryakumar Yadav, who was a regular member of India’s white-ball squads and XIs last season, has been awarded a Grade C contract.

Now, Who Moved Down?

Wriddhiman Saha, whose future is uncertain after being told that the team management has decided to move on and look for a younger wicketkeeper as Pant’s backup, has dropped from Grade B to Grade C. Mayank Agarwal, who held a Grade B contract the previous year, has also been demoted to Grade C. Umesh Yadav and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who held Grade B contracts previously, have been demoted to Grade C.

Who got dropped?

Kuldeep Yadav and Navdeep Saini are two players who have been completely removed from the BCCI Central Contract List 2022.

Meanwhile, there are a few players who have represented Team India or have performed well in the last year but have not been offered a central contract. T Natarajan, Rahul Chahar, Prithvi Shaw, Krunal Pandya, Sanju Samson, and Shivam Dube are among those on the list. Some of these, particularly T Natarajan, should be included in the central contract for next year.

Note:

The BCCI president, secretary, and chairman of the national selection panel make the annual retainership decisions. With all of the promotions, demotions, and removals from the BCCI contact list, the number of centrally contracted Indian players has decreased from 28 to 27
