Recently, BCCI had announced to increase the salary of Test cricketers. Now Indian cricketers will get Rs 15 lakh for playing test matches. At the same time, now big information is coming out for the cricketers playing domestic cricket. Actually, BCCI is considering increasing the salary of Ranji Trophy cricketers. It is believed that a big decision on this is possible soon. According to media reports, BCCI is continuously working on improving red ball cricket. Under this, the decision to increase the money of Ranji Trophy cricketers can be approved soon.
How much money do Ranji Trophy cricketers get?
Currently, BCCI pays Ranji Trophy cricketers between Rs 40,000 and Rs 60,000 per day as match fees. However, it all depends on the number of matches played in the season. For example, if a player plays all seven group games in a season, he gets around Rs 11.2 lakh annually. Actually, because of IPL, many big players avoid playing Ranji Trophy, but now BCCI is working on its new strategy.
Cricketers do not want to play in Ranji Trophy!
According to Indian Express, 156 Indian cricketers were signed for IPL 2024. In which there were 56 players who did not play even a single match of Ranji Trophy. Whereas there were 25 players who played only 1 match. However, now BCCI is working on a big plan to deal with all these issues. It is believed that a big decision will be taken on this soon. However, it will be interesting to see how much impact it will have on the players if the decision to increase the money of Ranji Trophy cricketers is approved? Will big Indian players give priority to domestic cricket over IPL after this?
