Domestic cricketers get pay hike

January 04, 2004 20:53 IST

The Board of Control for Cricket in India on Sunday enhanced the match fee for domestic cricketers.

"The senior cricketers will receive a total of about Rs 30,000-35,000 per match, out of which Rs 16,000 will be given to them in hand while the rest will be kept in their benevolent fund accounts," BCCI president Jagmohan Dalmiya said after a daylong working committee meeting of the board in Kolkata.

But Dalmiya said the fee payable to non-playing members of a senior team would be reduced to 50 per cent.

However, at the junior level, all members of a team will be paid uniform fee.

The BCCI also decided that the match fee for India 'A' members on their tour abroad would be Rs 6,000 per match day, while in case of India Under-19 team, it would be Rs 1,500. In case of home matches against any touring side, the India 'A' players will get Rs 4,000 per match day.
