Star Indian batting duo Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are all set to retain their A-plus category contracts despite their recent retirement from Test format.

Despite announcing their retirement from both T20Is and Test cricket, Indian cricket stalwarts Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will continue to hold their Grade A+ central contracts, confirmed Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Devajit Saikia on Wednesday.

A report states that Gautam Gambhir has conveyed to the team management that he wants full control in the dressing room as he does not want a repeat of the 0-3 Test series whitewash at home against New Zealand.
