Trust in old name remains intact in central contract
Although no one believes the news on the first day of April, Cricket Australia chose Tuesday, April 1 for the announcement that every Australian player was waiting for. Cricket Australia announced its central contract for the 2025-26 season. Releasing the list, the board congratulated Sam Constas, Matt Kuhnemann and Beau Webster for being included in the contract list for the first time. Matt Kuhnemann made his international debut in 2022. He performed brilliantly in the Test series against Sri Lanka this year. He took a total of 16 wickets in two Tests. 31-year-old Beau Webster has made his international debut this year. He has scored 150 runs and taken 3 wickets in the 3 Tests he has played.

Apart from three names, there is no big surprise in the list of central contracts released for the new season. The names of Connolly, seamer Sean Abbott, all-rounder Aaron Hardy and spinner Todd Murphy are not included in the old list. Both Abbott and Hardy were part of the Champions Trophy 2025 team, but they did not get a chance to play a single match in the tournament. At the same time, Murphy played a Test match on the tour of Sri Lanka as the third spinner, who has been dropped from the list. The names of the 23 selected players are as follows.
