League emerging player

T20 World Cup: Promising young pacer Titas Sadhu, medium-pace all-rounders Arundhati Reddy and Amanjot Kaur, wicketkeeper-batter Uma Chetry and all-rounder Shreyanka Patil were handed their maiden BCCI women's central contract for 2024-25 season after all of them made the cut in Grade C category on Monday.

On the other hand, Indian women's team captain Harmanpreet Kaur, vice-captain Smriti Mandhana and ace all-rounder Deepti Sharma have retained their spot in Grade A category with the highest pay of Rs 50 lakh.

Among the new entrants, Amanjot is the only player yet to make her India comeback after suffering a season-ending stress fracture in her back between the second and third editions of the Women's Premier League (WPL). The Punjab and MI all-rounder, who last played for India in January 2024, was recently named the Emerging Player of the Season in WPL 2025 as MI clinched its second title in three years.
