Test Cricket Incentive Scheme: The Board of Control for Cricket in India's (BCCI) announcement of introducing a new Test incentive scheme for India's senior men's team has come in favour of Kevin Pietersen with the former England captain lauding BCCI secretary Jay Shah for the "highly commendable" action.
Shortly after India thrashed England by an innings and 64 runs to win the fifth and final Test at HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala to clinch the series 4-1, BCCI secretary Jay Shah announced the initiation of the ‘Test Cricket Incentive Scheme’ for the senior men's team.
According to the new initiative, the BCCI will give an additional match fee to India’s senior men’s team regulars with cricketers who play more than 75 per cent of Test matches in a season for India set to receive an additional fee of Rs 45 lakh per Test match.
