The next edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) and domestic cricket’s pay structure will come up for discussions when the Committee of Administrators (CoA) meets the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) here on Wednesday. Among the major decisions was to refer India’s participation in cricket at the Olympics to its General Body.
“But I know it is next to impossible and it would be a miracle if I play in that World Cup”. After a couple of hiccups, the Mithali-Raj team found its touch back and finished as the runners-up.
Former Indian team players also received a one-time benefit of Rs 35 lakh from the board, who played between 1 to 9 Tests.
“We are trying our level best. We will try and adhere to it as far as possible since the Future Tours & Programmes (FTP) are decided way in advance”.
The former India captain, along with Sachin Tendulkar, Kapil Dev, Sunil Gavaskar, MS Dhoni and Ravi Shastri, was honoured by the BCCI. And as bad as the optics might look for the sport in India, the Kerala High Court’s judgement is the flawless opportunity for the country to form strong sports fraud laws.
KL Rahul received Rs 28 lakh as BCCI Test ranking prize money, while Wriddhiman Saha and Varun Aaron received Rs 42.2 lakh and Rs 37.5 lakh respectively as long-standing amounts from the 2015-16 season for matches played outside the country.
After Sreesanth approached the Kerala High Court in March this year with a petition seeking the lifting of his ban, the court asked him to file a review plea before the BCCI.
The Kerala Cricket Association (KCA), meanwhile, on Thursday, have shot a letter to the BCCI asking their next step after the Kerala High Court directive on Sreesanth.
Acting president Khanna told PTI: “Azharuddin’s case was discussed at length. The legal team has given its opinion and I believe general body will take a favorable decision”.
“There are 10 units that have sent the list”.
“Those who haven’t would be mentioned in the status report to the Supreme Court”, said CoA member Diana Edulji.
