CK Khanna denies reports of pay hike for Indian cricketers; matter to be discussed in BCCI Finance Committee

Reports surfaced on Friday morning that the Indian cricketers are set to receive 100 per cent hike in their salaries. However, BCCI acting president CK Khanna confirmed that nothing has been finalised on this matter.

“Everything is still under discussion. Nothing is finalised. There are chances of having another set of meetings over pay hike proposal. As of now, BCCI acting treasurer Anirudh Chaudhry is working on draft proposal. It will be discussed in BCCI Finance Committee and in SGM,” Khanna told Indian Express.

The report states that the domestic cricketers too are set to get richer. Earlier in the day, Times of India quoted a source close to COA saying, “Senior cricketers are certainly going to get a 100% raise and even domestic players would get the same percentage increase.”

Currently, Grade A cricketers earn INR 2 crore per annum, Grade B players earn INR 1 crore and those in Grade C earn INR 50 lakh.
