BCCI president Sourav Ganguly on Tuesday hinted that a contract system will soon be in place for the thousands of first-class cricketers in India, providing them a much needed sense of security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ganguly, in his first interview to the PTI, had mentioned that the financial health of domestic cricketers was paramount and wanted to increase their match fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a move that could be a game-changer for domestic cricketers, the BCCI president wants to bring in a secured structured payment system just like the annual central contract for country\u2019s top international cricketers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe will bring in a contract system for first-class cricketers. We will ask the new finance committee to prepare a contract system,\u201d Ganguly told PTI during an exclusive interaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s just been four-five days and in between there was a Diwali break. It will take about two weeks to assess everything and move forward. There is a lot of work going on,\u201d the BCCI president said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Currently, a domestic cricketer annually earns around Rs 25 to 30 lakh depending on the matches played. The match fee for a first-class game is Rs 35,000 per day and the domestic cricketers get 13 per cent distributed amongst them from the gross revenue earned by BCCI through broadcast rights.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
