Ireland Cricket Team Central Contracts: The T20 World Cup 2024 is being played in a very spectacular manner. Fans are getting to see exciting matches every day. The Indian team will play its first match in the current World Cup 2024 against Ireland today on 5 June. But even before this match, Ireland has announced the central contract for male and female players. A total of 48 players are included in the central contract.
Male players got two types of contracts
The central contract was announced after a long consultation between Cricket Ireland and the Irish Cricketers Association. The board has given two types of contracts to male players, which include full time contract and retainer. The retainer contract includes benefits such as medical and health insurance, sports science support for players for specific series or specific days.
The board has given four different types of contracts in the women’s category. These include full time, retainer, casual and education. The education central contract is designed for those players who are currently studying. This contract allows them to create the right balance between studies and cricket without worrying about money.
For the first time, 12 women players got full time central contract
Cricket Ireland has included players like Ross Adair, Matt Foster, Fionn Hand, PJ Moore and Ben White in the central contract for the year 2024-25. 37-year-old Simi Singh, who played his last international match in October 2022, has been excluded from the central contract.
