Mumbai: BCCI to increase the remuneration of Indian players in Test cricket. According to reports in the national media, a decision will be taken after the Indian Premier League 2024 season. BCCI does not intend to increase the match fee. Instead, the move is to pay a higher annual bonus to players who play more Test matches. It was earlier alleged that young players Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer are staying away from Test cricket for IPL.
BCCI’s position is that the players under central contract should play domestic tournaments including Ranji Trophy. BCCI Secretary Jai Shah had warned about this. But Ishan Kishan was not ready to play Ranji Trophy. Shreyas Iyer did not play in the Ranji Trophy citing back pain. The incident became controversial after the National Cricket Academy issued a report saying that there were no problems with the player.
As per the current contract, a player who plays a Test match gets Rs 15 lakh. The remuneration is Rs 6 lakh in ODI and Rs 3 lakh in Twenty20. In addition to the amount received by the players in the annual contract, the match fee is also paid. The additional amount will be paid as an annual bonus to the players who play Test matches. The BCCI hopes that through this action, it will be able to attract more young players to first-class cricket.
