Win Projections to be updated soon
The Board of Control of Cricket in India (BCCI), the nation’s highest cricket regulating body, made a historic announcement today announcing that they will be paying Indian players more.
This has been split into a seasonal amount and a per-game basis. Indian cricketers will receive a per-game salary of INR 7.5 lakh if they are included in the playing XI, on top of the income that they will receive from their individual contracts with their various Indian Premier League teams. To encourage further involvement from the drafted players, the governing board has also declared a massive sum of INR 1.05 crore, which does not include the agreed upon payment.
Additionally, it has been revealed that each club will pay match fees totaling INR 12.60 crore for the duration of the season.

Will Team India’s future talents come through the IPL primarily?
Experienced campaigners who are approaching or in the sunset of their careers may find that the new policies unveiled by Shah & Co. don’t apply to them too much. Nonetheless, the financial incentive to make an extra dollar may merely fuel the desire of junior and age-group cricket players to go above and beyond in order to be completely available to participate in the IPL, which may serve as a new breeding ground for future legendary players.
