NEW DELHI: Ravindra Jadeja, Cheteshwar Pujara and M Vijay have been included in the Grade A category of annual contracts announced by the BCCI (Indian Cricket Board) on Wednesday. The trio joins Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni, R Ashwin and Ajinkya Rahane in the top category. Players holding a Grade A contract will now get an annual retainer fee of $3.05 million instead of the previous $1.71m they were getting since November 2015. The cash-rich Board of Control for Cricket in India also hiked the retainer fee for Grade B and C players while increasing the match fee across formats. Players will now get $23,000 for a Test match, $9,000 in a one-day international and earn $4,000 for a Twenty20 game. The decision to restructure the central contracts and match fees was taken by the BCCI in conjunction with the Supreme Court appointed Committee of Administrators (CoA).
