Bangladesh reveal central contacts, Mushfiqur Rahim moved to Grade B
Bangladesh have revealed the central contracts for their men's side, encompassing the period from January 1, 2026, to December 31, 2026. Pacer Taskin Ahmed, who stood alone in the A+ category last year, has been moved down to Grade A following an injury-hit season.
An Achilles problem in February disrupted his rhythm and ruled him out of red-ball cricket entirely, as he did not feature in a single Test match in 2025.
Veteran wicketkeeper-batter Mushfiqur Rahim has also seen a change in grading, dropping to Grade B after stepping away from ODIs in March last year. Meanwhile, players like Shadman Islam, Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Rishad Hossain, and Shak Mahedi Hasan have been moved to Grade B.
Bangladesh men's central contracts:
Grade A: Najmul Hossain Shanto, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Litton Das, Taskin Ahmed
Grade B: Mushfiqur Rahim, Mominul Haque, Taijul Islam, Mustafizur Rahman, Tawhid Hridoy, Hasan Mahmud, Nahid Rana, Shadman Islam
Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Rishad Hossian, Shak Mahedi Hasan
Grade C: Soumya Sarkar, Jaker Ali Anik, Shoriful Islam, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Nasum Ahmed, Syed Khaled Ahmed
Grade D: Saif Hassan, Parvez Hossain Emon, Tanvir Islam, Nayeem Hasan, Hasan Murad, Shamim Hossain, Quazi Nurul Hasan Sohan
