Salary of Male Indian Cricketers: Indian Cricket Organisation

For many years, the Indian Cricket sector could be seen registering prestigious awards in both the male and female categories. Recently the BCCI has alloted the salary (both International and Domestic) of Male cricketers. The organisation has made announcements regarding the grading system for male cricketers.

The four grades are: Grade ‘A+’, Grade ‘A’, Grade ‘B’ and Grade ‘C’. However, the players who participate at International matches are grouped under these grades, and the grading entirely depends upon the performance of individual players. According to reports, the salary of Grade A+ players is INR 7 Cr, salaries for other grades like Grade A, B, and C are INR 5 Cr, 3 Cr and 1 Cr respectively. 

Also, there’s separate divisions among the domestic cricketers, they are said to receive salary based on the number of matches they played. As per reports the seniors or to be more precise, the cricketers who play more than 40 matches receive INR 60,000. And, players attending less than 23 matches are said to  earn INR 25,000. Players playing below 19 matches receive INR 20,000.

Rather than these, the Indian players have a fixed match fee for every format. They are said to receive Rs.15 lakh for a Test match. For an ODI, they earn Rs. 6 lakh, and an Indian player earns Rs. 3 lakh for every T20I. Moreover, the players who are unable to be there in playing XI, are said to draw 50% of the match fee.
