Cricket Australia (CA) has released the men’s players contract list for the year 2024-25, in which they have not given place to two big players. One name in this includes opening batsman David Warner, who retired from Test and ODI formats earlier this year, while the other name is of all-rounder player Marcus Stoinis. Apart from this, the Australian Cricket Board has included four new players in the list of its new annual central contract. Apart from this, there are 19 such players who were part of the central contract list last time also.
Cricket Australia removed 5 players from central contract
Apart from David Warner and Marcus Stoinis, the players who have been excluded from the list of the new central contract of the Australian team include the names of opening batsman Marcus Harris, spinner Ashton Agar and fast bowler Michael Neser. The decision to exclude Stoinis is a bit surprising for everyone, who is currently playing for Lucknow Super Giants team in the 17th season of IPL. Stoinis had earlier not been able to play in the T20 series played between New Zealand and Australia due to being unfit. At the same time, his claim to be in the Australian team for the upcoming T20 World Cup is also considered to be quite strong.
For the first time these 4 players became part of the central contract
The new players whom Cricket Australia has included in the list of central contracts for the first time include the names of fast bowlers Xavier Bartlett, Matt Short, Aaron Hardy and Nathan Ellis. This time Cricket Australia has included a total of 23 players in its central contract list. Apart from former team captain Steve Smith, the names of Nathan Lyon and Pat Cummins are also there.
