Bhuvneshwar Kumar BCCI Contract: Every cricketer goes through ups and downs in life. Even the current greatest Virat Kohli had to go through a tough patch in his cricketing career.
He was long been criticized for his inability to score runs consistently. However, after 1013 days, Virat Kohli literally managed to get back on track.
Meanwhile, veteran Indian paceman Bhuvneshwar Kumar struggled with form and injuries. He has been finding it hard to find the right line and length to keep the opposition in check.
The fast bowler usually bowls pretty well at the death. However, he has been on the receiving end in the recent past games for Team India.

As a result, he fell out of the selectors’ radar. The right-arm paceman last played an international game for Team India against New Zealand at Napier on November 22, 2022.
Unfortunately, he missed out on the BCCI‘s Annual Contract List of 2022/23. It is indeed a heartbreaking moment for Bhuvneshwar Kumar and his fans.
The big names include Ajinkya Rahane, Wriddhiman Saha, Hanuma Vihari, Mayank Agarwal, Ishant Sharma, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, and Deepak Chahar.
“The Board of Control for Cricket in India on Sunday announced the Annual Player Contracts for Team India (Senior Men) for the 2022-23 season,” BCCI wrote in a statement.
