Cricket Australia has confirmed its national men’s contract list for the 2025/26 season.
Again, 23 players have been selected.
Those who didn’t make the cut can still upgrade to national contracts via selection in Test, One-Day and T20 cricket.

Three players are new to the contracted list – Sam Konstas, Matthew Kuhnemann and Beau Webster.
Konstas’ addition is notable, with the exciting young opener set to be in the mix for the upcoming campaign.
He will potentially feature as early as June, with Australia to face South Africa in the ICC World Test Championship Final.
After recently being cleared of a suspect bowling action, Kuhnemann will look to continue his strong form.
The left-arm spinner was the Player of the Series against Sri Lanka in February, taking 16 total wickets.
Webster earned himself a national contract last campaign, and his upgrade has been retained.
The 31-year-old all-rounder made his Test debut against Sri Lanka in January.
Sean Abbott, Aaron Hardie and Todd Murphy have been removed from the contracted list.
Australian men’s cricket contracts rose by 7.5 per cent in 2023 following a new memorandum of understanding.
This has set the average retainer at $951,000 for the past two seasons.
According to cricket.com.au, the top contract earner makes more than $3 million a year, with the minimum retainer worth approximately $367,000 before tour payments and match fees.
