In a surprising move, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has decided to terminate the contracts of Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer, two promising talents in the Indian cricketing circuit. This decision, while unexpected, reflects the rigorous assessment and recalibration process undertaken by the reason of BCCI stated before that all players participate in domestic cricket during periods when they are not representing the national team.

Additionally, athletes who meet the criteria of playing a minimum of 3 Tests or 8 ODIs or 10 T20Is within the specified period will automatically be included in Grade C on a pro-rata basis. For instance, Dhruv Jurel and Sarfaraz Khan, having played 2 Test matches so far, will be inducted into Grade C if they participate in the Dharamsala Test Match, i.e., the 5th Test of the ongoing series against England.
