Senior players Ajinkya Rahane and Ishant Sharma are likely to be removed from the Board of Control for Cricket's (BCCI) annual contracts while youngster Shubman Gill and in-form Suryakumar Yadav would get a promotion in their contracts for the 2022-23 season during the Board's Apex Council meeting on December 21.
All-rounder Hardik Pandya, who is being seen as future T20I captain, is likely to get a promotion to Group B from C. Stumper-batter Saha will also be axed from the list as he was specifically told at the start of the year that he won't be selected for India again.
