Test Match fees

[ganeshran]

Does anyone know how much is the fees that players earn playing tests? If a player solely plays tests, will he be able to earn as much as he does in IPL/ODI matches? If not, then shouldnt BCCI increase this remuneration to make the game more attractive for youngsters?

I think its around Rs7 lakh per match for Indian cricketers who are under the central contract.

Nope. They are already paid pretty well :nice:

Even if they make it 10L it'll be peanuts for players. They earn in crores with ad shoots.

keeping in mind one get ad shoots only if he makes it to the Indian National team and plays well .

I voted yes, but if they get 7L per match as match fee, I think that's good enough.

What the players earn from the BCCI is a tiny % of the revenues they bring to the board. Ideally 35-40% of BCCI's income should be going to players fees (split equally between domestic and intenrational players). As of now I think BCCI's disburses only 26% of its total income among the players ,the Indian team -- got 13%, domestic cricketers got 10.6%, with the remaining 2.4% going to junior cricketers. Kirsten was being paid 400k usd and Fletcher is getting a similar amount. If the coaches could be paid so much, our players definitely deserve a lot more.

Thats true but this little increase in match fee will not be enough to motivate players if thats what the OP is trying to suggest.
