After being out of this important tournament, veteran player Kane Williamson resigned from the post of captaincy and also withdrew from the central contract. Kane Williamson wants to participate in as much franchise cricket as possible but at the same time he has also said that whenever the New Zealand team needs him, he will be seen playing for his country. Not only Kane Williamson but New Zealand’s Trent Boult, Adam Milne and Lockie Ferguson have also removed their names from the central contract. Tom Latham, who may be seen captaining New Zealand in ODIs, gave his opinion on the recent trend. Tom Latham said that cricket is going in a different route for New Zealand at this time. He said that whenever experienced players return to the team, it will be really great to see them playing, but apart from that, the central contract of the players is a matter of concern at this time. According to ESPNcricinfo, Tom Latham said, ‘It seems to me that the direction New Zealand cricket is heading to right now is a slightly different place. Franchise leagues are coming up rapidly and this is affecting New Zealand cricket a lot. Everyone is in different boats and it seems very difficult to understand their future at this time.’ Tom Latham put forward his side regarding the captaincy of the New Zealand team Tom Latham further said, ‘We have a lot of cricket to play this summer and the Champions Trophy will also be held and I am eagerly waiting for it. It will be great whenever the old players return to the team but at the moment things are not going well regarding their future. If I am given the captaincy, I will feel honoured. Getting the captaincy of the New Zealand team will be a big thing for me. For me the team comes first. If I get this opportunity, I will feel very happy. 5 Australian players who scored half-century in their debut IPL match IPL 2024: These 11 foreign players took crores of rupees but flopped IPL 2024: 5 players who hit the most sixes in the 19th and 20th overs of IPL 5 fastest bowlers in IPL history Who are the head coaches of all 10 teams in IPL 2024?

Let us tell you that many new players in this list have got contracts, while some players have been seen demotion along with promotion. Let us tell you that the central contracts of players like Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer have not been renewed, whereas in fast bowling, the rising stars of domestic cricket Vijay Kumar Vaishak, Vidwat Kevirappa, Yash Dayal and Umran Malik are also expected to get central contracts soon. Also, Yuvvendra Chahal and Shikhar Dhawan have been thrown out of the contract. However, amidst all this, a question may be coming in your mind that why Sarfaraz Khan and Dhruv Jurel, who were part of the Indian team in the Test series against England, have not got a place in this contract. So let us tell you that there is a technical reason behind this due to which both of them have not been able to get the central contract yet, but they will get it soon. This is how Sarfaraz and Jurel will get BCCI’s central contract. Let us tell you that for any Indian player to get the central contract of BCCI, it is mandatory to have experience of at least 3 Test, 8 ODI or 10 T20 matches. If a player has this experience then he automatically gets BCCI Grade C contract. So, Sarfaraz and Jurel have played only two test matches for India, hence they have not been included in this contract. However, if he is successful in playing the test match to be held in Dharamshala then he will get this contract. The list of players included in BCCI’s central contract is as follows List of Grade A Plus players Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja.
