Raina replaces Yuvraj in BCCI's top contracts list

[simran khanna]

Hi,

Suresh Raina has replaced Yuvraj Singh in the Grade A level - the
highest - of the BCCI's list of central contracts for 2010-11. Virat
Kohli, M Vijay and Pragyan Ojha have moved up to Grade B, while Rohit
Sharma has been demoted to C. RP Singh and Munaf Patel, who were
previously in Grade B, have not been offered contracts.

The board has made several changes to the structure, reducing the
total number of contracted players from 41 to 24, and doing away with
Grade D. The annual retainers have been increased from Rs. 60 lakh to
Rs. 1 crore ($135,594 to $225,990) for Grade A and from Rs 40 lakh to
Rs. 50 lakh ($90,396 to $112,995) for Grade B. The fees for category C
remain at Rs. 25 lakhs ($56,498).
