The BCCI will shower money on domestic cricketers, getting bumper offers before Diwali

New Delhi. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is going to shower money on domestic cricketers. The salaries of domestic cricketers may be increased before Diwali. At the BCCI Apex Council meeting on September 20, match fees for domestic cricketers could be increased by about 100 per cent. The board, in collaboration with state agencies, can give central contracts to domestic cricketers.

According to a report in Sportstar, the salaries of first-class and List A cricketers could be increased to Rs 50,000. Players can get Rs 25,000 for a T20 match. So far the players get Rs 35,000 per day for Ranji Trophy and Rs 35,000 per victory as match fee. Players participating in the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 tournament get Rs 17,500 per match. Reserve players are paid 50 percent of the match fee.

Sourav Ganguly announced a central deal in 2019 after becoming BCCI president. Now it can become a reality. Meanwhile, women cricketers will also expect an increase in match fees. At present, women cricketers are paid Rs 12,500 per ODI and Rs 6,250 per T20. Match fees for female players are also likely to increase by 25 to 40 percent. At the same time, domestic cricketers who could not play Ranji last season due to Corona are also likely to get a minimum compensation of 50 per cent of the match fee. The BCCI may approve the Apex Council.
