Board Of Control For Cricket In India Will Consider Salary Increase For Players

The Board of Control for Cricket in India "will consider a further increase in salaries for its contracted players after leading cricketers expressed dissatisfaction with the pay raise announced last month," according to Sudipto Ganguly of REUTERS. The world's "richest" cricket board doubled salaries for the '16-17 season and "improved match fees across all three formats for its 32 centrally contracted players, placed in three categories." However, the new pay package "did not meet the demands of the players," who have been pushing for a "revamped compensation structure." Vinod Rai, who heads the Indian Supreme Court-appointed Committee of Administrators to supervise the running of the BCCI, met national captain Virat Kohli on Wednesday to discuss the issue. Rai said, "Since the 2016-17 contracts are already done, we will certainly consider the players' request for a hike in the upcoming season." Under the revised terms, players in the uppermost "A" bracket have been put on a retainer of 20M rupees ($309,500) for the period ending on Sept. 20, up from 10M rupees last season (REUTERS, 4/6).
