Despite retiring from Test and T20I formats, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will remain in the BCCI’s Grade A+ contract list, confirmed secretary Devajit Saikia. The legendary duo, still active in ODIs, were named in the top contract tier alongside Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja for 2024–25. Kohli retired with 9,230 Test runs and 4,188 T20I runs, while Rohit scored 4,301 Test and 4,231 T20I runs. Their continued presence reflects their impact and ongoing value to Indian cricket as the team enters the new World Test Championship cycle starting June 20 with a tour of England. (PC: BCCI)
