New Delhi : The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Devajit Saikia on Wednesday confirmed that star India batters Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will stay in the Grade A+ category despite retiring from the T20Is and Tests.

Earlier in April, the BCCI announced annual player retainership 2024-25 where Kohi and Rohit were put in the Grade A+ category along with right-arm seamer Jasprit Bumrah and left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja.

“Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma’s grade A+ contract will continue despite their retirement from the T20Is and Tests. They are still part of the Indian cricket team, and they will get all the facilities of Grade A+,” Devajit Saikia told ANI.

Ahead of the five-match England tour, which will kickstart India’s ICC World Test Championship 2025-27 campaign, Virat stunned the cricketing world by announcing his retirement from the format, drawing curtains to a 14-year-long, 123-match big career.

In his Test career, the 36-year-old made 123 appearances in white clothing, scoring 9,230 runs at an average of 46.85, with 30 centuries and 31 fifties in 210 innings (ANI).
