The selection committee, headed by Ajit Agarkar, has proposed changes to the central contract structure. The committee has recommended scrapping the A+ category (Rs 7 crore) and leaving only three categories: A, B, and C. Further clarity on the monetary changes and whether the BCCI will approve this new model is expected at the next apex council meeting.
The announcement will be made by T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav and chief selector Ajit Agarkar.
With the September 10 deadline approaching in applying for two vacancies in the Ajit Agarkar-led senior men’s selection committee, former India fast bowler Praveen Kumar has applied for a place on the five-member panel.

Rinku has so far played 15 T20Is for India and has an average of 89 and a strike-rate of over 176.
