The "and" along with positioning of commas would've made a huge difference.

Even if it was "and" the central contract part becomes completely irrelevant. Why would a player who hasn't been part of playing XI in last 5 years still have a central contract?
They could have just ignored central contract part and it wouldn't have made any difference at all

From cricbuzz, this would still not ensure that teams don’t keep bidding higher to reduce other purses using the leverage of RTM cards:
The highest bidder will be given one final opportunity to raise their bid for a player before the team holding the RTM card can exercise their right. For example, if Team 1 holds the RTM for Player X and Team 2 has placed the highest bid of Rs. 6 Cr, then Team 1 will be first asked if they will exercise RTM, if Team 1 agrees, then Team 2 will have the chance to increase their bid. If Team 2 raises their bid to Rs. 9 Cr, then Team 1 can use the RTM and acquire Player X for INR 9 Cr. If Team 2 chooses not to raise the bid and keeps it at Rs.6 Cr, Team1 can use the RTM and get Player X for Rs.6 Cr

The franchises argue that the essence of the RTM is to establish a player's market value, and this purpose is not served when a franchise is required to match an arbitrarily raised bid. As clarified by the BCCI, the increase can be any amount, which diminishes the value of the incremental bid at that stage. Cricbuzz can confirm that some franchises have formally written to the BCCI, while others have engaged in discussions with its officials.
It is also being pointed out that the new rule can be counterproductive to the BCCI's main goal of attracting as many star players as possible to the auction. By setting INR 18 crore and INR 14 crore for players ranked No. 4 and No. 5 retentions, the BCCI appears to be discouraging franchises from pursuing retention. Critics argue that this new RTM clause does not exactly align with that idea and the franchises may now opt for more retentions instead of going for the RTM option.

The final decision is that of the player. Don’t think a fast bowler is going to agree for 4cr
