BCCI Considering Hike In Test Match Fees; Report
Indian Premier League: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is contemplating a raise in Test match fees following a growing inclination among players to prioritise their participation in the Indian Premier League (IPL) over red-ball cricket, says a report.
The board has likely chosen to revise the salary structure after questions swirled about Ishan Kishan's prolonged absence from domestic cricket. The wicketkeeper-batsman ignored the team management’s calls to play domestic cricket, and instead was spotted working out and practicing in Baroda for the IPL, which begins next month.
The Indian Express report, citing a source, said BCCI is in the process of determining the additional bonus that will be awarded to a player who competes in every Test series throughout a season.
