Veteran batters Cheteshwar Pujara and former Test vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane were downgraded in the latest central contracts list of the BCCI that was ratified by the Board's Apex Council on Wednesday.

The BCCI has four categories - A+ which has annual remuneration of Rs 7 cr while A, B and C categories are valued at Rs 5cr, Rs 3cr and Rs 1cr respectively.

Accordingly, Pujara and Rahane, who were in Grade A are now in Grade B. The biggest demotion, however, was Hardik Pandya, who has been shunted out from Grade A to C in the list.
